CapnAndy: Grant Morrison just disappeared into some mystic otherworld, and what’s worse, he took all his notes for Final Crisis with him. In desperation, DC’s given the job to you. Assume that you’ve got to let Countdown and all its myriad spinoffs run their previously planned courses, but then the plot is yours to run […]

Day two, mo’ questions. Keep them coming if you are so inclined. Matthew E. What are your top five prose books about superheroes (fiction or non)? …I don’t really have any? I mean, I haven’t gotten around to reading The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, and looking over my heavily loaded-down bookshelf there’s a […]

Well, turnout for the whole ask me a question thing has been higher than anticipated, so I’m gonna start answering questions now. They’ll all get answered eventually, I promise.

So “One More Day” has come to its entirely predictable and deeply stupid end. The internets are aglow with the sound of fanboy heads exploding in rage. We’ve seen J. Michael Straczynski and Joe Quesada have a very public “civil disagreement,” where each is more or less trying to find the most eloquent euphemism for […]

Church had this idea first, but as Sam Raimi once said, “if it’s good, steal it.” So: ask me whatever question you like in the comments, and I will answer in a post come Friday. As motivation for asking particularly insightful or amusing questions, the question I deem most excitingly fantastic will win, posted through […]
