Unspoken Rules of Comic Expos
Comic expos are collections of some of the nerdiest people on earth waiting in long lines to get that newest edition Darth Vader action figure, dressing up as video games characters, and fangirling over seeing the voice of Lucius Malfoy (Jason Isaacs) at a panel (those last two were me). It's a collection of the geekiest of the geeks and comic expos are an absolute blast.

A Haunting Slice of Life by Jeff Lemire

He associates that phrase with being boring to retailers and readers. But it is what it is.

The Fall of Bleach: An Opinion From a Former Fan
Like anyone who was, at one point, a reader of Shonen Jump — before they went digital — I used to be a fan of the manga/anime, Bleach. It wasn't my favorite manga of all time, but it was definitely one of my top favorites, due in part to the character designs, the intriguing set-up, and of course, the kickass action scenes.

Unbelievable as it may sound, people are actually convinced that this is the leading cause of people turning their backs on the industry. Could there be any truth to these claims?

Is The Joker the Greatest Villain in Comic Books?
If you ask the average person who the best villain is in the world of comic books they will likely all answer with the same name, The Joker. He is a juggernaut on both the printed page and the big screen, garnering more attention than any other baddie that has come before or after him.
