TRY SOMETHING NEW Chapter 5: Rebel Spaceships, Striking From a Hidden Base
I feel like I have been doing this column long enough now that you all must be dying for a behind the scenes peek at how the magic happens. It all starts around 1:30 AM on Sunday night/Monday morning. That’s around 4 hours after I am supposed to have emailed this in to Tyler, our [...]
Quick Review: X-Statix Omnibus
I know it’s not exactly new, but it’s sort of new to me. I was wondering how many other people picked up the recent omnibus edition of X-Statix… I’m about halfway through this behemoth and it’s well worth the money and the time.

Exhibiting at Big Apple Comic-Con 10/17-10/19 2009 Big Apple Comic-Con looms like a big geeky monster towering above me this week, as FP prepares to exhibit at the newly-acquired-by-Wizard show. Myself and the FPNYC staff are busy scurrying around the store packing boxes, inventorying our wares, making banners and signs, and yadda yadda yadda… all [...]
Mike Allred and Steven T. Seagle DO NOT announce new project at SDCC.
Wait..what? It appears in the hubbub that was Comic Con, comic creators Steven T. Seagle and Mike Allred declined to announce their new project coming from the Man of Action Studios and Image Comics. We don’t know how we missed this one, because quite honestly, next to “Choker” this would be the most anticipated thing [...]
