Of Masks and Men: June 2013
http://ofmasksandmen.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 16, 2013. It's Complicated- The Short Version. Every year on Father's Day, when people are extolling the virtues of fathers who did everything right by them, there's a silent minority who suffer. I choose not to be silent today. I loved my dad. I miss him all the time. But to say he was a great father, or even a good one would be a lie. I hear people rationalize their fathers' poor behavior by saying, "He did the best he could." Well, to hell with that. Do better. Posted by Jim McClain.

Of Masks and Men: October 2011
http://ofmasksandmen.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 23, 2011. Has a small slideshow theorizing why we aren't going to the movies as much, these days. I agree with a lot of what they said. The quality of home viewing has improved. The availability of streaming video is convenient. The economy is poor. The quality of many movies has declined. Almost two years ago, I did the math. And it still holds true. Now that the initial outlay for a Blu-Ray player and HDTV has been made, we can buy. Even our once-frequent trips to the Tri-Way Drive-In.

Of Masks and Men: January 2012
http://ofmasksandmen.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 12, 2012. Another favorite activity of his was shoveling snow. When I would take care of the driveway, he would always join me outside, waiting for a load of snow to come his way so he could snatch it up in his jaws. We even tied a sled to him a few times, but he would take off so fast, the sled rider would fall off the back. Shadow LOVED the snow. Posted by Jim McClain. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Of Masks and Men: September 2011
http://ofmasksandmen.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 25, 2011. No, it's not a Star Wars post. In my world, they never slapped that stupid label on Star Wars. The scrawl starts with. "It is a time of civil war.". So, what is a lifelong comic book reader to buy? There are still two DC titles I will buy. The first is "Young Justice. The other DC title, though it is that by publishing rights only, is " Astro City. I understand that it is being released with a new #1 like everything else, and that's just fine with me. I don't. From Dynamite, i...

Of Masks and Men: June 2015

Thursday, June 25, 2015. Old Wounds #2 and #3. Yes, I am Russell Lissau's friend. But as Russell will be the first to tell you, I will tell a friend when I don't like something that they've done. I'm told it's a rare trait, and it might explain why I don't have that many close friends. That said, Old Wounds #2 and #3 are great! I reviewed #1 here. Is in stores now. Posted by Jim McClain.

Of Masks and Men: Old Wounds
http://ofmasksandmen.blogspot.com/2015/04/old-wounds.html
Wednesday, April 01, 2015. I waited for a special occasion to write a new blog post here in my old stomping grounds. That special occasion is the release of Russell Lissau's and John Bivens' Old Wounds #1. I've known Russell for some time now, and I know him to be a good guy. He's an honest guy, as honest as any I've known. And he's a journalist, like David Simon. Was So, when I tell you that Old Wounds reads like an episode of The Wire. Where layers give way to more layers. I can't wait to read more.

Of Masks and Men: March 2012
http://ofmasksandmen.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 07, 2012. So, what have I been working on that has taken all my blogging time? Solution Squad is a teenage group of heroes with math-based abilities who entertain and educate at the same time. Kids learn without even realizing it! With my niece, Rose, handling the art, we have made a webcomic that will be printed as a regular comic once we have 24 pages under our belts, and you can see it at www.solutionsquad.net. If you feel inclined to back our Kickstarter, you can do so at this page.

Of Masks and Men: May 2011
http://ofmasksandmen.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 29, 2011. I haven't written in my blog very much during this school year, and with good reason. The stuff I would have written about probably would have gotten me fired, and while it might have made a good point about how tenure really doesn't give a teacher a job for life, I didn't really want to put that to the test. But the evaluation tool being used to determine our pay is based on the Indiana Academic Standards ( IAS. When my brother first introduced me to this movie almost 10 years ago,...

Of Masks and Men: Why, Joss? Why? (Avengers spoilers)
http://ofmasksandmen.blogspot.com/2012/05/why-joss-why-avengers-spoilers.html
Saturday, May 05, 2012. I was along for the ride, and enjoying every minute, and then you dropped the bomb on me:. Thor: He’s my brother. Natasha Romanoff: He killed 80 people in 2 days! Thor: …He’s adopted. I've read from other sources that some oversensitive adoptive parents have a problem with that line. I'll take that hit. I may be oversensitive about it, but you know what? I read in an interview. This very telling anecdote by Thor actor Chris Hemsworth:. Posted by Jim McClain. Ive not always agreed ...
