Fun, NOT Funny
Going to try blogging more regularly. At least two or three times a week. No promises, but we’ll see what happens.
By the way, I’ll be taking part in Borders.com’s Babel Clash, a two week blogging exchange thing. I’m not really sure how it works or what I’ll be doing, but it’s flattering to be asked to participate. So I’ll be doing it because any chance to meet new fans without forcing me to get up and leave my house is cool with me. It’ll start next Wednesday. I’ll keep you updated gang.

Realism VS Surrealism
Realism is highly overrated. In particular, I hate realism applied to fantasy. Mostly because it seems to miss the point of fantasy in the first place.
I recently started a Twitter mini-debate with a friend of mine.*  Watching a preview for the new Kick-Ass movie, I remarked how the movie straddles a clumsy line between superheroes and realism. This has always been a tricky prospect. Some elements of fantasy are closer to reality than others, and superheroes are about as far from reality as one can get.

Fan Service
As a long time, on again, off again comic book fan, it’s no secret that I’ve had my ups and downs with the storytelling medium I used to consider my favorite. Comic books are going through a crisis, and it’s one from which they may never escape. Like a black hole of sucking doom, this could lead to their end.
