Are You A Serious Comic Book Reader?: March 2010

http://comicsforserious.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

Blood, Sweat and Twitter: One Woman Paul Pope fandom? Good friend of the blog and semi-committal comics reader Camden had the, what, dumb luck? No, unique opportunity to see Paul Pope talk about his craft during spring break. So of course we thought it would be a perfect opportunity to have her share with our readers here something of her experience. What her piece here seems to get at it is how Paul Pope has a certain something, a bit of the rock star. To read on a plane. I think I finished it befor...

Are You A Serious Comic Book Reader?: Frank Miller Week: Miller and Gravity's Rainbow

http://comicsforserious.blogspot.com/2010/08/frank-miller-week-miller-and-gravitys.html

Frank Miller Week: Miller and Gravity's Rainbow. If I had been involved in the decision making which resulted in Frank Miller's commission to illustrate the cover for a new edition of Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow. Miller's would likely not have been the first name to come to my mind. Rick Veitch, whose Maximortal. But leaving aside for the moment Miller's suitability for the job, it is important to point out that comics are really central to what Pynchon does in Gravity's Rainbow. Comes before the ...

Are You A Serious Comic Book Reader?: Baltimore Comic-Con 2010: Year Of The Whitebox

http://comicsforserious.blogspot.com/2010/09/baltimore-comic-con-2010-year-of.html

Baltimore Comic-Con 2010: Year Of The Whitebox. Every year the first hour is almost overwhelming, the sense of "fuck, where the hell am I going to start? I've been looking for these issues for a long time but usually all you can find are the Marvel ones. This is the Japanese Godzilla comic where he doesn't even show up in the first issue, and instead of focusing on the army or Godzilla himself, it's about the people who were affected by the bomb and Godzilla's attacks. Or Ren and Stimpy. Fame Nakazawa is...

Are You A Serious Comic Book Reader?: May 2010

http://comicsforserious.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html

Has anyone read McTeague? If so, could you write an essay or blog post describing in what way, if any, the novel’s story or themes resonate with Wilson? Because I want to read that essay, and I am not going to have time to get to McTeague for a very long time.". Over at the always engaging Comics Comics. Blog, T. Hodler's opened up discussion on Daniel Clowes' Wilson. Among the many things that Hodler brought up is the connection between Wilson. And Frank Norris' McTeague. Think of Wilson reading McTeague.

Are You A Serious Comic Book Reader?: Baltimore Comic Con 2010: Without A Plan

http://comicsforserious.blogspot.com/2010/09/baltimore-comic-con-2010-without-plan.html

Baltimore Comic Con 2010: Without A Plan. Going to a comic con is in some ways like a job. At least the people with their laptops and four page printed out lists seem to approach it that way. In the back of my mind I've always had the desire to go all-out, officially fill-in all the missing pieces to different series, and to remember all the things that I actually want to get. I'd been looking for this series for a while with no success. Reminded by this. Jim Mahfood has been on my radar. An adaption of ...

Frank Miller Week: Jurassic Park. To the left, to the left" is where Beyonce is going to move all your shit when you do wrong. Why left? Most human left hands are non-dominant and religions often revere the right hand/side of the body. So, I guess the left is the less significant side. But we read from LEFT to right.

Are You A Serious Comic Book Reader?: Frank Miller Week: Green Lantern-Superman: Legend of the Green Flame Cover

http://comicsforserious.blogspot.com/2010/08/frank-miller-week-green-lantern.html

Frank Miller Week: Green Lantern-Superman: Legend of the Green Flame. As mentioned in Monique’s post. Miller draws the clawed leg coming from the left side of the image, the beast largely unseen, pulling our eyes slowly to the right. While he uses this trick again to direct us along the picture, his intentions are different, it tells a story in itself, forcing us to ask what the beast is, where it came from, and how did Superman and Green Lantern come to be in it's possession? Death To The Universe.
