Sorry to hear you are having problems with Vista, it’s not that good, I do enjoy your work. Have you considered trying a version of Linux? Its easy to use, loaded with free graphics tools and comes in many flavors. I’m not a Linux salesman, but I enjoy having an OS that doesn’t crash when you need it most.

I can’t say enough good things about Fraction’s Iron Fist. He is responsible for my all time favorite phrase: Sumo Thunder Stomp!

Actually, Rudolph is capitalism at its finest. He uses his red nose (his value as a worker) to aid Santa (the private owner) and receives in return acceptance (pay) into the society of reindeers (the free market). Now the Who’s…they were commies.

I have the first two issues on Comixology and keep forgetting to read them (one of the inherent problems with Comixology, which also attempts to keep track of what you’ve read and makes a hash of it).

My cynical self thinks that DC has made a smart move with this title. First, by creating controversy, they guarantee free press and some sales. Second, whenever sales inevitably flag on this book, they can guarantee pepping it up by bringing in the Joker and having him shooter in the spine.

Boom! Oracle comes back.

I am really bummed about Oracle, too. Oracle is one of the few legitimately new ideas in comics for a while. A hacker superhero who covers backend operations for the super community. It’s an idea that no one would have had in the Dawn of superheroes. She was a hero for today, and added a lot to the DC Universe. It sucks for that to fade away. If Barbara Gordon doesn’t fill that role, DC would be silly not to find a character to do it.

While I loved Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland, I’m totally not into Zombies. I just don’t really get it.

Thank you so much for using my art in your comic!

The unspoken dark secret of nerd culture is that it is also CONSUMER culture. This is definitely true. Another geeky Philadelphia Webcomic, Lead Paint, often goes into this topic.

It’s taken me into my 30s to get there but I’ve mostly gotten my spending under control. I know, tho, that if I ever made real money I’d go back to buying comics like CRAZY.

When they first 52 went out, I went sorta nuts there for a while. I got so into that. And CIVIL WAR happened at the same time, and I thought that was comparably awesome.

3 times a week is bold. I have been carefully tracking my productivity for a a little over a month and I don’t seem to be at a place yet where I can go to 3 times. I really, really want to, but it just doesn’t seem feasible.
