how to be a dc fan •dont read comics •complain about them welcome 2 the fandom
I’m listening to the audiobook version of Supergods, Grant Morrison’s book about comics and superheroes. I’ve just heard the part about Siegel and Shuster selling the rights to Superman.
I was kind of surprised, to be honest. I’d been led to believe, based on the commentary from various parts of the comics-centric internet, that Morrison was completely pro-DC on this, and...

I just want to say that you should all really go and listen to the latest Dork Forest podcast (from iTunes or thedorkforest.com), if for no other reason than to hear the VEHEMENCE in Jackie’s voice when she answers “NO!” to the question “have you ever seen Judie Dench in a bikini?”
Also, y’know, the guest is Lizz Winstead, creator of the Daily Show. So...

In Which I Am Angry And Use Very Bad Language
Dear Young Privileged White People Of Today
Throwing around antiquated racist terms is not fine just because you’ve never had anyone tell you not to. And if you’re convinced I’m wrong, come to work and call any of the old Jamaican guys I work with “negro” and see how they react.
You will find that despite what you may have been led to believe, they don’t...

On the 5th of May, 2012, we were invited down to Forbidden Planet Southampton to record a Free Comic Book Day special!
In it, we talk A LOT about comics, especially the ones given away on Free Comic Book Day. And about lots of other things. It was ace.
The very generous folk at Forbidden Planet Southampton also gave us a whole bunch of Free Comic Book Day comics to give...
Comic Writer Services 2.0
dan-hill:
The inspiration for this post originally came about when I found a bunch of .DOC files sitting in my Dropbox. The files were part of the archive for THE ENGINE, the now defunct forum created by Warren Ellis. The forum was a treasure trove of insight into the creative process, advice and inspiration with many comic creators having a presence there.
I thought the files would be useful...

So I’ve got 24 hours left to hit my $800 target or Indiegogo will exploit the “kick him while he’s down” clause and take a bigger cut of what I’ve raised so far. This is where you come in!
I’ve told you what’s on offer already so I won’t bore you again here… just pop along to the site and chip in whatever you like!
Please spread the word! Time is running out!

This is kind of funny, but irritating at the same time. None of the metal bands I’m into (except maiden, I suppose) sing about dragons. Find me a Machine Head, Sepultura, Pantera, Fear Factory,...
