I really didn’t think it was going to be very hard to make my final choices but I have been really tormented on some of these final books. They were really close to the line. Just interesting enough that I am sort of intrigued to see where it goes. Ultimately, I decided I would pass [...]

We have reached the end of month 3 and for me the end of the weekly blogs. I will read the issues this week and make my final cuts (I will tell which ones I am keeping on Friday). From here on out I will be returning to my geeking out column to keep you [...]

You know a project is nearing the end when you actively look forward to not having to do it anymore. These last few weeks I have been sort of dreading writing the reviews. Not because I don’t want to share my opinions but because it is really hard to get everything done in a short [...]

As we roll through issue threes, I have come to a decision that I will be dropping about fifteen comics this month. I am going to shed all the average books. I want to get to the spot where I am just reading those books I like a lot. This means I will be stopping [...]

The third month is upon us and I get to review a fewer books. Eventually, I have a feeling I will drop all but about twenty books (unless some book is really good and just outside the twenty). Mostly, because my finances dictate it. I haven’t been buying a lot of independents these last few [...]

For the most part the second month didn’t bring too many surprises in the story category. A few books got better a few got worse. The big difference I noticed for month 2 was I felt the art got noticeably worse in the second month. Some books were really hard to look at. I think [...]

I have always liked a good scare. Growing up in the Bay Area I was really lucky to have a show called Creature Features on every weekend. It was the highlight of my weekend and I started watching at a young age. I think by the time I was ten I had seen almost all [...]

This is it people. The end of week two and the point I start deciding which comics will get dropped from my DC survivor island. I still haven’t decided how many will go but I am leaning towards ten in the first cut. It will really come down to how many books can I simply [...]

I have come to the decision that after next week I will be dropping titles off of my DC island. My finances are such that I can’t keep buying all the issues and still buy comics from other companies (this will of course change if I suddenly sell a boatload of my novels. I am [...]

The first week of the number 2 issues showed some drop off for books I liked. This week I was hoping some comics I had high hopes for would pick it up considerably. I am also wondering if there is anyway I will ever like Damien as Robin (I doubt it) or be able to [...]

C.S.'s bookshelf: read
Anybody with even a hint of 80's geek love needs to read this book. A clever book about everything I loved as a kid thrown into a contest to rule the virtual world.
Have decided to reread all Vonnegut books in the order of publication. I still love this book. I was amazed at how relevant it still is. Haven't read it since which school and I am sure I got a lot more out of it now.
A very good book (if a little dry). Very hard to read though. I learned a lot of history I was unaware of and most of it depressed me. I know it is easy to look back and ask, "how did the world let it happen?" but I still wonder.
