Feb 27, 2009 Comics, The Weekly Pile
Now this is more like it. This week’s collection of comics is a substantial stack. After a couple of pretty lean weeks, the pile is back!

Trivia Time #5: Image Comics - The Early Years
Feb 14, 2009 Comics, Trivia Time
My mind has been thinking back to those early Image days during the 90’s ever since the announcement of a Youngblood movie earlier this week. So I decided to create a Trivia Time based on the exploits of superstar creators Jim Lee, Marc Silvestri, Todd McFarlane, Rob Liefeld, Erik Larsen, Whilce Portacio and Jim Valentino when they decided to leave Marvel and strike out on their own to create a comic company. That company turned out to be Image Comics; a publisher still pumping out solid books today.
There will be 10 questions in total. I will post the answers to these questions on the Trivia Answers page. No peeking until AFTER you have taken the quiz!
Continue on to take the quiz and be sure to keep score and find out how you did when you finish. Each question is worth one point unless otherwise noted.

A Great Read #6: Previews Review Edition - Previews Issue 245 - PART 3
Feb 1, 2009 A Great Read
Today’s final Preview Review for issue #245 continues directly after yesterday’s Previews Review Part 2 and Part 1 from the day before. Please continue on for Part 3 where we will look at the rest of Marvel’s solicits as well as some offerings from independent publishers.
I will be using a very basic ranking method that will answer the question:
Will I Order This Item?
- Yup!
- Maybe So
- Not This Time
The page number and price (in US funds) will also be included for easy reference in case you feel inclined to order an item yourself. So, grab your copy of Previews and let’s get started!
