Carnival of souls

* Things are cookin’ in this week’s Lost thoughts discussion. Check it out!

* Frank Miller isn’t doing Holy Terror, Batman! anymore. Rats!

* J.H. Williams III drawing and writing the new Batwoman ongoing series? Sure, I’ll eat it.

* Tom Spurgeon laments the dawn of the $3.99 For Monthly Comics Age. Personally I thought the $2.99 price point was ridiculous, too. A 22-page sliver of a story with virtually zero re-read value on its own? No thanks. As I told Geoff Grogan at MoCCA, a choice between dropping four bones on some random Avengers issue or dropping it on something like Pood is no choice at all. I can’t even get into the spirit of buying stuff from Frank Santoro’s lonboxes, much as I tell myself I’ll give it a shot virtually every time I go to a show. I can’t get past “I’m not getting a whole thing, I’m just getting a part of a thing.”

* Peggy Burns presents maybe my favorite MoCCA photo parade ever. Funny from the very first joke.

* I’d forgotten to keep track since you can’t get a separate RSS feed for it, but Zak Smith’s I Hit It With My Axe is up to its fifth episode. Turns out it really is fun to watch a bunch of weirdo friends jackass around playing D&D in efficiently edited installments–having briefly spent time in such a group of weirdo friends jackassing around, albeit not an efficiently edited one, I suppose this shouldn’t be a surprise.

* New Kevin Huizenga comics!

* New John Hankiewicz sketches!

* New Afrodisiac t-shirt!

    Jackassing around?

    Nay!

    We were saving the world from orcs and mindflayers!

    Still nerdy after all these years….

  4. BILL! TELL ME you are reading Zak Smith’s blog. You’d dig it the most, baby!

  5. Bill says:

    Is that the monster one?

    Sort of, occasionally.

    I’ve actually been focusing my few minutes of free time each week on, ahem, getting some RPG materials published.

    Links and shameless pimping to follow. 😀

    One google search later…

    ok, maybe I’m thinking of another blog.

    But that one looks good too!
