So, I'm prepping for Comic Con, selecting giveaway items for the fans who will visit my booth - accidentally assuming it's a Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along-related signing only to discover the truth to late!

July 2, 2012: The Supermovie of the Week Club Reconvenes! Cookie Monster reviews Batman and Robin!
Batmand and Robin be de filmic equivalent of explosive garden vegetable diarrhea. Exciting, sometime pretty to look at, but it still crap. Dis movie be Joel Schumacher's master piece (of shit).

June 20, 2012: Dark Matter (and me!) at Comic Con! Take a breather with Jelly! Winners of the Greatest Mid-Season Two-Parter in Stargate History contest!
Finally booked my hotel for Comic Con next month which means I WON'T be sleeping on the floor of the convention center after all. On the one hand, it's nice to know I can look forward to a mattress, a hot shower, and room service cookies and milk, but on the other hand, I was…
June 16, 2012: An early start to the day! Days of Stargate Atlantis Past! Letters from Pegasus! The Gift!
Last night, Akemi and I re-enacted an episode of the anime Gintama. Coincidentally, it was the very episode we watched last night before going to sleep. The episode involved an insomniac Kagura keeping a sleepy Gintama up all night. By episode's end, she has finally dozed off while Gintama lies wide awake beside her, unable…

Batman Forever. Well, at almost two hours running time, it sure feel dat way.

May 28, 2012: The Supermovie of the Week Club Reconvenes! Cookie Monster reviews the 1995 Fantastic Four movie!
Dis movie nowhere near fantastic but, all in all, not de worst fan film monster have ever seen.

It a produkt of love by group of…
May 22, 2012: Running the miniseries marathon! And the Dark Matter TPB is on its way!
If this miniseries were a marathon, these last two legs would have been all uphill. I'm exhausted but have passed the halfway mark and, while I forge ahead, keeping to my grueling act a day pace, Paul is following a few steps back - reading, revising and making sure everything actually makes sense. Once I…
May 18, 2012: Dark Matter artist Garry Brown answers your questions!
When my editor at Dark Horse, Patrick Thorpe, asked me which artist I wanted to work with on Dark Matter, I had a difficult time offering a name. Yes, there are plenty of comic book artists whose work I greatly admire but, being a relative newcomer to the field, I didn't feel right pitching someone…

Well, last night I received a call from my writing partner, Paul. It was the call I suspected and expected and altogether dreaded. He was a couple of days into his pass on the first four acts I'd written and, while things were going well, they were also progressing slowly. "I don' t know what…
May 15, 2012: The Supermovie of the Week Club Reconvenes! Cookie Monster reviews Meteor Man!
Meteor Man written and directed by Robert Townsend. To be honest, me prefer his Chinatown. Still, monster surprized me not hate dis movie. Sure, it all sortz of stoopid and itz hero as interesting as a deli sandwitch named after David Caruso, but it not all bad. Only mostly bad. After opening theme muzik dat…
