As a VALIANT fan this is an extra cool contest to present for me. It’s about time we have more contests with books with pictures and along with that we have a limited lithograph to offer. We will have two winners, each will walk away with a new copy of newly released Archer and [...]

I just put up a review of a one-shot from DC Comics, Last Will and Testament, Brad Meltzer’s and Adams Kubert’s contribution around the Final Crisis event. I kind of just read it, felt something, and wanted to review it. This is basically how I roll with reviews, regardless of medium and I thought Melzter [...]

In a previous post I commented on a recent pick-up and my appreciation for Silver Age DC Grey/Wash tone covers and I just got another of my favorites today.

Besides being the title of my book coming out in 2047 (pre-order now) they are also two principals in a new original art page I just bought (and on the way). This is straight out of childhood here but first some some commercial reference goodness:

There are two really classic vehicle duels in the MARVEL G.I.Joe [...]

I listen to a lot of comic book related podcasts as kind of background while I’m doing Bookspot related stuff and when I work out.  While I’m sure also of are used to hearing our names it always strikes me dumbfounded when I hear it on what is essentially a radio. No matter how short [...]
