For The Love of Comics

‘Nuff Said

Return of the Cracker: Now With Brainspew!

I have returned from my Thanksgiving feasting and I’m still working through my email and news backlog here, so I have nothing much to say at this point.

It seems that most of the web is caught up with Marvel and DC’s attempts to shut down ZCultfm, and I may have something to say about that later, but I’m still trying to decide just where I stand on the whole issue.

As you may have guessed from some of my statements concerning Marvel’s Digital Comics Unlimited service, I’m a big fan of downloading digital comics and it has led to a fairly large increase in the money that I spend on trades, so I obviously think that ZCultfm benefits the comics industry in the long run. That said, I support DC and Marvel’s right to protect their intellectual property.

So I don’t really know what to say at this point. This actually might be my final word on the subject.

Anyway, to tide you over until I actually have something of substance to write about, I give you links to two articles from Newsarama that made me happy in my pants.

First, Rob Schrab will finally begin releasing the end of Scud: The Disposable Assassin in February. I have waited ten years for these issues. There are not words for how happy I am that I won’t have to go to jail for abducting Mr. Hollywood Schrab and doing terrible things to his scrotum until he gave me the end of Scud.

Second, Newsarama has a 20 Questions interview with Garth Ennis about my absolute favorite current series, The Boys. Ennis talks a bit about themes, inspirations, the benefits of publishing through Dynamite Entertainment over Wildstorm, character motivation, and other fun things. While the language is totally work-safe, you may want to be careful with some of the page previews, for reasons that should be obvious to anyone who has read The Boys.

And I believe that’s all I have for tonight. Hopefully we’ll be back to the meatier stuff tomorrow.
