I’ve been intrigued by all the recent discussion about Marvel’s position in the marketplace and what’s the cause of the recent decline in sales.

Two of the things that attracted me to comic books were the names of characters as well as what they looked like.

With the advent of the Internet and the endless news cycle, we also can’t escape the unceasing flow of information, including the news that a favorite Syfy show of mine, Dark Matter, has been cancelled after three seasons. Rats.

I’ve been reading a lot of speculation recently that Disney is going to stop production of Marvel’s comics for a variety of reasons.

That’s not going to happen. Let me tell you why.

A lot of people on the Internet are talking about the interesting recent news that Robert Kirkman is taking his intellectual properties under Skybound from cable channel AMC to Amazon Prime.

I remain quite a big fan of Star Trek, so I’m fascinated by the upcoming Star Trek: Discovery because, frankly, we haven’t had weekly Trek on the tube for quite a long time now.

Sometimes it’s a real disadvantage having read comics for as long as I have. You live to see things come back in one form or another.

The question I always get asked after attending Comic-Con is, “What was it like?” Well, let me try to sum up this year’s SDCC.

I’ve shopped at many local comics shops over the years, and I have to pay attention when a store decides that comics “aren’t enough” for whatever reason… I get worried.

I’ve often noted in the past that I attended San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) five or so years back, but that I haven’t been there since. That’s going to change this year!

One of the most important things in the buying of comics appears to be habit. You go to the store on a certain day at a certain time and voila – there are your comics waiting for you! Depending on the store and the time, you may find that NOT the case this Wednesday, July 5!

As I always do, I was reading the news here at MajorSpoilers.com, and I came across an interesting story about adding information regarding age-appropriateness to Aspen Comics.

This past weekend, I was helping behind a vendor’s table at the 2017 Heroes Con, held in Charlotte, North Carolina. It was the 35th year the con has been held!

Last weekend included the debut of the Wonder Woman feature film and, for once, I actually got to go see it, a comics-based movie on its opening days!
