Ten Years of Questionable Content
Jeph Jacques Questionable Content is ten years old. That’s a webcomic I’ve read from just about the beginning and it’s been not only a fun read but exciting to see Jacques improve in his craft so much (and so publicly). Check out the ComixTalk interview with Jeph from 2004 — such adorable art! ComixTalk also reviewed the webcomic in 2005 and had another interview in 2006.
Joe Loves Educational Movies
That is an amazing capture of the likeness of Denzel and Wahlburg. Also, I don’t know about you, but this was a near coffee-snorting-through-the-nose laugh inducing joke.
Review of The Silver Six and Tommysaurus Rex
Receiving two new graphic novels from Scholastic is usually a good day at the X-house. (Yes, DISCLAIMER!!! Scholastic provided review copies of both THE SILVER SIX and TOMMYSAURUS REX to me.) More and more I rely on the X-girls’ opinion of such books as a baseline for whether or not they work. Still can’t get them to actually write the reviews for me, but I haven’t given up hope on that completely.

Fund the Third Spacetrawler Book
[kickstarter url=http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/654744622/spacetrawler-book-three width=599] Christopher Baldwin is running a kickstarter for the third and last book collecting his science fiction webcomic Spacetrawler. If you’re not already reading this comic — go now. We’ll wait. Still here? Look Baldwin is like your favorite indy film director who has done some amazing work that you, person of taste, distinction and erudition appreciate and love. Now he’s done a take on a genre with his same intelligent and emotionally compelling approach as always. It’s a more accessible, more exciting and still just as much depth as his past work. The past books looked great …
Insert some kind of Matrix and/or Fight Club joke here
Editorial cartoons have rode all of their cliches six feet under their ground. I love the twist on the them in the Amazing Super Powers comic.
Booster Dude and Blue Beetle Jr.
Two of my favorite characters from the Keith Giffen run on Justice League are Booster Gold and Blue Beetle. So forgive me if I got a big kick out of the most recent JL8 webcomic installment. Nailed those characters as 8 year olds perfectly. Also I cannot understand why DC doesn’t just hire this guy to do this comic for them officially. It’s the most original take on these characters; it’s completely kid-friendly and yet is genuinely funny in a way that can appeal to multiple age groups.
