Thursday, October 12, 2006. The Rolling Stones LIVE in Regina - A Concert Review. The Rolling Stones LIVE in Regina, SK - October 8, 2006. By Erin Harde, October 10, 2006. Back on the main stage, a giant inflatable tongue and lips greeted the Stones’ return but quickly deflated as the first notes of "Sympathy for the Devil" began. After trading shrill ‘ooh oohs’ with the crowd, Jagger ascended to a balcony above the band. There, with his monstrously large image on the screen behind him, he became...After...

Monday, June 26, 2006. All Star Superman #4 - A BRIEF Review. I finally read the issue last night and wasn't impressed. SO I re-read it this morning (thinking maybe fresh eyes and a (semi) bright mind might help. it didn't. The art I found to be the weakest of the 4 issues. especially the pics of Superman. The picture of Superman on the page (can't remember which) where they discover the Black Kryptonite (he's in the lower laft panel) is HORRIBLE. Worst Superman. Ever. Thursday, June 15, 2006. Spider-Man...

Sunday, January 29, 2006. Artists and their PERFECT run. All of the artists below have had great runs on many titles. some guys like George Perez and John Byrne have been at it for 25 years and are still going strong. But some artists are almost defined by a particular run on a titles (Simonson's Thor), much like the characters become defined by the artists (Batman by Adams). Batman, X-Men, Spectre and Green Lantern. Fantastic Four and X-Men. Along with Aparo Breyfogle defined Batman in the 1990's. H...

Tuesday, December 19, 2006. The Frozen Ship: The Histories and Tales of Polar Exploration. Hardcover, $24.95. It’s hard for people living in modern times to even remotely contemplate that attempting to reach the North Pole in a hot air balloon with minimal food, inadequate clothing and no experience, is a good idea. Salomon August Andree, a Swede, tried to do just that in 1897 when he attempted to avoid the potential hazards of ice flows and having to walk over dangerous ground. Moss talks at length abou...

Random Thoughts: February 2006

Tuesday, February 14, 2006. Why DEAD should mean DEAD! I am a firm believer in the "dead is dead" policy Marvel had a few years back. I really wish they hadn't gone back on it. I believe death in comics should be permanent for several reasons:. Death in comics becomes trivial if everyone (or almost) comes back. It looses its effectiveness as a storytelling tool because there's no permanence. Why get pissed because So-and-so's dead when they're eventually going to be back? Monday, February 06, 2006. There...

Sunday, April 30, 2006. Creativity in comics: Today vs. Yesteryear. Are comics today better than they weer during the height of the Silver Age? What about the creativity? But what made the Silver Age (and the Golden before it) so special was the vast influx of NEW characters, new worlds, new stories. and the changing of the status quo. But since about the mid-1970's there has been a real halt to the massive influx of new characters or character evolution. But who's fault is this? People don't want evolut...

Saturday, August 26, 2006. Sea of Gray: The Around-the-World Odyssey of the Confederate Raider Shenandoah. Just as war will have its heroes and its tragedies, so, inevitably, will it have its ironies," writes Tom Chaffin in Sea of Gray: The Around-the-World Odyssey of the Confederate Raider Shenandoah. The story of the Shenandoah is replete with adventure, sadness and irony and Chaffin tells all in this remarkable tale of the Confederate ship. The biggerst irony is that the Shenandoah’s greatest conquest...

Friday, March 31, 2006. Pull Dan Slott's THING! These quotes are taken from Newsarama. So Dan, let’s just right in this and not mince wordsHard, cold world-wise, The Thing isn't lighting up the charts. Nope We are in a very scary place, numbers-wise. Any thoughts on why people aren't jumping on? After all, it seems that you hear lots of people saying they want more traditional, fun comics, and this is surely that. Tell me about it! One word, sir: Bribery. Scratch that. I meant to say: a content! For any ...
