Been unplugged - well, not unplugged unplugged, just not doing the whole obsessive-web-browsing thing - for a little while, and? AWESOME. Example: That thing? With the dude, and the gun, that I’m not actually describing because I don’t want those search hits? Totally didn’t know about that until Thag mentioned […]

Anonymous was kind enough to correct me: It wasn’t all Millar. Which may actually be worse, because now I can’t blame it all on one dude with Issues.
Right - I was going to talk about the Spider-marriage, but I think we could all use a little refresher in recent comics history. So […]

Amazing Spider-Man 537
*sigh*
Word is that Marvel wants to take out the Spider-Marriage.
Now, this is all happening in the Civil War storyline, which is Marvel’s current company-wide crossover extravaganza. Ostensibly it’s about a bunch of kids getting killed during a superhero fight, and then the American people rise up in anger and now the government […]

I really, really, wish I’d made this comic:

The money shot involves Revelations 7:15 and is the BEST ROBEWASHING EVER. This dude’s main site has been hanging around in my bookmarks for a couple years and I never saw this. That’s what I get for not making the rounds.

This reads like a eulogy, and it pretty much is one. It’s a very well-written look at the Cerebus comic, which wrapped up this month with issue 300.

[…] For all his faults (and they are legion), Sim’s the best fucking cartoonist on the North American continent, and up there in the […]
