I’ve been a baseball fan all my life. I can recall watching games with my dad, and being taken to Shea Stadium for my birthday for several years in a row. While I can’t throw worth a damn, I love the game.Soon after joining DC Comics, I learned that Mike Flynn and Bob Rozakis belonged […]
Over on the right side of this page is a link to the IAMTW, an organization that is barely three years old but its ranks have been swelling for some time. We’re a friendly bunch and have been very supportive to one another. The nominations for the annual Scribe Awards were just announced and I […]
Some times I really believe there is a balance in life.Monday night’s RTM meeting was about as brutal as I expected. The coverage in the papers will show those who missed it what got covered but no doubt it’ll look even more contentious whenever the public access video is broadcast.I left the meeting feeling like […]
Lunacon kicked off last night and I will be there all day.Here are my panels:Saturday 11:00 – 12:00:00 PM Grand CenterDeep Space 9 Retrospective: The Thinking Person’s Star Trek SeriesFarthest from Roddenberry’s original vision, Deep Space 9 was relatively fixed in place and as much concerned with emotional, moral, and spiritual journeys as with adventure […]
I have not been a faithful correspondent because I’ve been devoting every waking hour; it feels, to two projects. As I mentioned recently, they arrived within 15 minutes of each other and they vie for my time and attention although clearly the short-term gig has to be getting the lion’s share of me for now.Since […]
Sorry for another protracted delay in writing.As I feared, I’ve allowed the two new gigs to consume my daylight hours. On the one hand, I like what I’m doing and that I’m finally earning some cash; on the other, this will be all-consuming until the short-term assignment is complete.Each day starts with some of the […]
Life is suddenly getting busier.This past week, I was working through the little bits and pieces I had to do and was about to turn my attentions to spec projects when there was a flurry of activity at week’s end that will now keep me insanely busy through the end of April.On Thursday, Kate and […]
Lunacon is coming up in just two weeks and I received my schedule. The con for me tends to be more social than useful for self-promotion or business but one never knows. I do know that not seeing my NYC-based pals weekly as I used to, I find myself looking forward to the weekend.Here are […]
I haven’t chatted about television in a while but trust me, we’re still watching an awful lot of it.We’ve seen the first two episodes of Dollhouse and I see it struggling to find its voice. Missing to date is the snappy Joss Whedon dialogue and memorable characters that populated his other productions. So far, the […]
Just a quick reminder to those in the vicinity that I will be giving a talk entitled A Picturesque History of the Graphic Novel at the Fairfield Public Library. There will be a PowerPoint presentation so it’ll be visually interesting and then hopefully the question and answer portion will be engaging.As of last week there […]
When Moonstone announced their acquisition of the Green Hornet license at the NY Comic-Con, I had a chance to personally congratulate publisher Joe Gentile on the smart move. And of course, I knew what was coming next. There’d be a comic, of course, but also a prose anthology and he invited me to contribute a […]
