Or – “I’m Always A Little Leery When The Coach Wants In The Game…”

Dan Didio is a polarizing figure in the comic industry.  Whether you love him or hate him, it’s clear that he has very specific ideas about what does and doesn’t make for good comics.  His last few writing gigs (O.M.A.C., Outsiders and Metal Men) haven’t really impressed me, and two of them ended in the cancellation of the titles in question.  Will the revitalized version of one of DC’s oldest mystic types be the game-changer for him?  Your Major Spoilers review awaits!

Or – “There Are Old Pilots And Bold Pilots, But Few Old, Bold Pilots…”

I saw recently that a clinical study proved that January 25th is the most depressing day of the entire year, scientifically and unequivocally.  While I don’t disagree with that sentiment (especially as it regards the attendance of employees in Midwestern United States call centers) I find it fascinating that somebody actually got paid to try and figure out something that silly and (let’s be honest, here) banal.  Still and all, it’s the kind of story that you read and go, “Yeah, I can see that.”  Thus, to ease your slowly-receding ennui (and Stephen’s not-so-slowly receding hairline) I give you another batch of coverage of comics you might have read, but forgot to laugh at the first time…  Rapid-Fire Style!
