* This Onion story about President Obama’s post-Battlestar Galactica depression isn’t as funny as it could have been because a) most BSG fans have Lost to fall back on, and b) love it or hate it, “depression” isn’t an emotion engendered by the BSG finale.

* My pal Alex Segura is now DC Comics’ official blogger.

* My pal Rickey Purdin is showing off his Shelf Porn. It’s even more impressive in person–everywhere you turn in that apartment, there’s a bookshelf crammed to the gills.

* My pal Kiel Phegley reviews Evan Dorkin & Sarah Dyer’s Biff Bam Pow! #1. In so doing he explains the process by which indie/alt comics got covered at Wizard, bemoans the dearth of genuine action scenes in modern comics (as opposed to just splash-page fight scenes), acknowledges the sad reality of all-ages comics, recalls how his Wizard interview with Dorkin became one of the ones that got away, and touches on various other topics of interest.

* My pal Tom Spurgeon’s list of noteworthy webcomics seems like a very useful feature to me.

* My pal Curt Purcell reviews Cameron Stewart’s mystery webcomic Sin Titulo. I’m really enjoying Curt’s emergence as what we Comics Blogosphere OGs used to call a semi-comics blogger.
