Comic books for 12/4/13

It feels so good to be caught up with my comic books. I may fall behind over the next few weeks, because a pair of NSF deadlines are approaching, along with the final stretch on our new exhibit at the MNCH. This week I’m also planning on posts discussing some of my recent publications, as […]

Comics for 11/20/13: Batman Zero Year lives up to its name

Aha! I’m finally caught up on my comic book reading after SVP. This two-week interval’s books are dominated by the Zero-Year crossover, which I find to be mostly a Zero-excitement crossover. The main story in the Scott Snyder penned Batman is good, but the tie-in books are all pretty flat and make me wish for […]

Comics for 11/6/13

I know, I’m sooo behind on my comics. I’ve been busy. Comics are my second hobby, so they fall by the wayside for work, family, and exercise. At work: we’ve been closing in on the new exhibit. Here’s a picture of the giant sloth skeleton getting installed.   Here are my comic ratings for the […]

Comic Reviews for October 23

OK, OK, I know this is a tad late… I’ve been busy: I was at the 2013 SVP meeting in Los Angeles. I’ll try to catch up on almost a month’s worth of comics, because this batch represents two weeks of backlog. I’ll drop in my review of the next two week’s worth sometime this […]

Geek Girl Con 2013: Day 1

Here I am at Geek Girl Con, my first pop culture con since my teen years. My students Kelsey and Brianna, who blog at Fossilosophy, bought me tickets for Xmas this year. I’m going to post my reactions today and tomorrow. I’m hoping to use this as a dry-run for blogging at science conferences. If […]

Comic Reviews for 10/2 and 10/9

OK, I’m a week behind in my comic reviews. I have two good reasons: I had a weak haul on 10/2 (as you will see) and I was in the field collecting a mammoth tusk. Look: First, the two books I got on 10/2: The Shadow Now #1, Liss, Worley, Steen, covers by Bradstreet and […]

Comics for 9/23/13: The end of Villains Month

At long last, Villains Month comes to an end. I know that Stu thinks DC can’t possibly be selling extra comic books this way, but I’m pretty sure they’re making out well from this deal. For example: this month, I have purchased 11 Villains Month books, and I usually get 11 different books from DC’s […]

Comics Pull List for 9/18/13 – Will Villains Month Ever End?

This week I only got four books: three of the Villains Month issues and one Annual for The Shadow. I chatted with Stu at Emerald City Comics on Wednesday when I picked up my books, and he pointed out that my hypothesis that DC was trying to increase sales with the Villains Month issues was […]

Comics pull list for 9/11/13

Here’s my short reviews of this weeks comics. More of DC’s Villains Month, le sigh. I’ll be glad when their promotion ends and we can get back to some of the regularly scheduled stories. Ratings out of five stars. Deadpool #16, Posehn, Duggan, Shalvey, and Bellaire. ***** I continue to enjoy Posehn’s stories as this […]
