End of the Week Explosion #14
It's the end of the week explosion! For a weekly column that's part of a comic book themed blog, we sure don't talk about comics very often. This week we may not even talk about comics at all! This is only because Seacord knows so many interesting things about gambling, prison and fighting. At this time it is especially important that we remind everybody that the views here are those of Seacord ...

New comics! But really, honestly, you need to pay close attention to what may be the best Alan Moore stories you've never read (besides Supreme). It's first on the list so you don't even have to scroll down that far. We know you're lazy like that... ALAN MOORE THE COMPLETE WILDCATS TP Look – I know I endorse a lot of different books here and I tell you that you absolutely must read certain ...
End of the Week Explosion #13
It's the end of the week explosion! This week is retro all over again when we talk to Seacord about the Nintendo Entertainment System, The Simpsons, Casper the Friendly Ghost, O.J. Simpson, and...wait for it...John Rambo. Q: So I saw The Simpsons Movie this week...and I didn't love it. Does that make me a bad person? No, getting arrested three times for trying on wedding dresses after the stores ...

I was so sick this week that not only could I not write this post on time, but I couldn't even read comics while I was in bed. Now that's sick. Reading comics while you are sick is a right of poor health. In fact, it's how a surprising amount of people first started reading comics...when they were laid-up sick. True story. Now please excuse me while I cough up my other lung. PREDATOR OMNIBUS VOL ...
End of the Week (Otakon) Explosion #12
It's the end of the week explosion! Holy. Crap. Last week Seacord, Kevin from Comics Alliance and I went to like the second-biggest anime convention in the country – a little something called Otakon 2007. Situated in lovely Baltimore, Maryland this show is...well...almost impossible to describe. We were there as part of a work release program stemming from that little "drinky, drinky, ...
The Simpsons Movie: Not So Much "D'Oh" Just "Eh"
Do you remember that episode of The Simpsons where Homer won't let Bart go see the Itchy & Scratchy movie? And in the end it's like the year 2032 and Bart is a member of the Supreme Court and he finally goes to see the movie with Homer? I felt a little bit like that when The Simpsons Movie started. I was thinking about how long I've waited to see this movie and now I'm old and while not a ...
This Weeks New Releases and Recommendations
It's such an exciting time to be a comics fan...if you're in San Diego for Comic Con. The rest of us have to sit around and wait for news to leak back from the show. While we wait there are a few quality new releases to help us pass the time. BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #5 It's so rare that something you have such high hopes for not only lives up to the hype, but actually surpasses any notion you ...
This Week's New Releases and Recommendations
So every week I have to come up with an introduction about how there are new comics this week. It took me longer than I thought, but I am officially out of ideas. My only choice for the intro was to talk about how I had no ideas for the intro. I'm sorry, this never happens to me. I've sunk so low. What's next? Am I going to start just cutting and pasting the solicitation text for certain books ...
End of the Week Explosion #11
It's the end of the week explosion! Where has Seacord been all week? The anime convention? No, that's next week! Was he in jail? I didn't get any collect phone calls. Was he at 7-11? Maybe... Q: I think we should warn everybody that there will be no End of the Week Explosion next week. I know this is shocking and unsettling news. Did you remember to tell your parole officer that we'd be at ...

It's hot! I went outside to get something from my car and stuff was just bursting into flames. Mailboxes ablaze. Bike messengers that looked like Ghost Rider. I saw a fire hydrant shooting lava into the street. It's hot. I'm glad new comics come out tomorrow, because if I went to buy them today I'm afraid they might explode.
