I saw a list of 'greatest' comic book runs, as voted by fans, and it made me consider my own choices. I went through my boxes and what-have-you and came up with a list, which conveniently comes out to 10 items, more or less. From roughly my favorite, down ( Read more... )

I was contemplating, as I often do, why certain channels exist. You get channels like G4 which runs Cops reruns at least 8 hours a day, then you have VH1 Classic, which I used to love, which now runs random movies most of the time. Why do these channels exist?

Okay, these came out a while before the more recent issues I've done dissections on, so I'm late in getting to them; however, I am going to do the annual where Longshot joins the X-Men next, so it's time. This is weird stuff, and I don't understand it all, but here it is ( Read more... )
