Friday Night Fights - I’m Crushing Your Head!

It’s time for Friday Night Fights, and once again it’s on.
This week, we have a reminder from The Boys 16…

Megacon 2008 - Day 2!

So far, I’ve learned three essential con-going lessons.
First, it’s better to bring a con buddy. It’s possible that flying solo is benefiting me in the sense that I’m getting to go to the panels that I want to go to and the only compromises I have to make are because of time, but I’ve [...]

Crackerbob’s Convention Tour 2008 - Megacon!

It has now been confirmed - I’ll be starting off my convention tour of 2008 with Megacon, right here in sunny Orlando, FL.
And, really, this will be the ONLY stop on my convention tour of 2008. Cons cost money, kids, and since I’m shopping for a house to move, possibly may be changing jobs [...]

Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson talk The Boys

Those of you have been reading since the beginning - a whole two months ago - may have caught a few mentions that my absolute favorite book right now is The Boys, but I don’t really say very much about it. The problem is, I like the book so much that it’s pretty much [...]

This is Why I Love The Boys (and Why Some May Hate It)

Ladies and gentlemen, the following full-page panel from The Boys issue 13 may be simultaneously the most glorious and most horrendous thing I have ever seen in a comic, and that is saying a lot.
Parents, you may want to shield your children’s eyes or send them to another room, this image could give them nightmares:
