OT-Treat Your Children Well, or my life has changed
I hesitate to post this. Not because of the nature of the post, but rather because, believe it or not, I am an intensely private person when it comes to my family. If this was about me, hell, I would have posted this a week ago, but this isn't about me, it's about my son. Six weeks or so ago, my wif...

The Economy and Comics

my 2 pesos
With james sime's comments recently about how having a point of sale has changed his ordering habits for trades, this aritcle does have some prescience.

I would like for Grell's Longbow Hunters, both for the story itself and for what the ensuing GA series tried to do. Failing that, I vote for Zero Hour. I can only speak on a little of what it did, but it did clear up some history and helped launch the nostalgia wave of the legacy characters we see t...

Book publishing and comics have so many similarities -- struggling industries, shrinking readership, a handful of big sellers surrounded by a sea of material that reaches only niche audiences, and competition from other industries like video games, film and the Internet. I think that I've heard tha...
