I've been writing about comic books (technically, the site calls them 'Reviews', but i think of them more as critical commentaries or somesuch) and recently decided to start a blog of my own to post them to and have them organized for my own personal benefit (where i'll probably throw in some stuff on movies, TV, music or whatever as i go along

Ingenious! I'm thinking of resurrecting my blog in the near future so I might ask for some linkage along the way.

Btw, did you read the recent Superman/Batman annual? As I recall you don't like Joe Kelly much (or is it Joe Casey?) but you should give this a try. I laughed out loud several times. It's so over-the-top that I think it must be some kind of piss-take on Morrison's style but it's still fun. Great artwork too.

is this the superman/batman annual with the earth-2 stuff? i've read about it, but usually don't do the superman/batman stuff. (although i read a trade when i worked at the bookstore where they were raised in an alternate reality to be super-villain brothers and it was actually pretty entertaining popcorn-type stuff)

and yeah, it's joe casey who's pretty awful. the joe kelly stuff i've read is usually pretty hilarious.

Well, everything I read SEEMS like a reasonable analysis, but then I haven't read any of the books in question. Like I'd said previously, you should read Superman: Red Son, if only so I can compare your thoughts on it to my own. :-)

the answer to that querry is that you're not good enough. you're simply not good enough. the execs at google all gathered together this past monday morning, hunched around a semi-circle-open-source-table and decided that you were personally not good enough to make it in their grandiose designs for search-engineering. I'm sorry. I'm sorry to break it to you like this. I should've called first. Cause now every other jackass and wackadoo on the internet can read this statement. And they'll spread the news like so much butter on so little bread that Neil, you're not good enough. Not for google, and certainly not for 'them'.
