More on that at a later date. It&#8217;s starting to ease up, though, so for the moment I at least have the opportunity to offer a short new post.

		<description><![CDATA[In one sense, everyone knows Superman&#8217;s origin. At least the sound bite version: &#8220;strange visitor from another planet, who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men,&#8221; &#8220;rocketed to Earth as an infant from the dying planet Krypton,&#8221; and so forth.
The thing is, it&#8217;s really hard to build actual stories [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The main Blackest Night series got off to a good start, as I&#8217;ve written, and I continue to enjoy it. The story slowed its pace a bit in the second issue, but it&#8217;s still compelling and suspenseful, shocking and poignant. The best &#8220;event&#8221; comic in years, frankly. (It&#8217;s clearly leading up to the return of [...]]]></description>

For ages now writer Geoff Johns has carefully dropped clues and bits of foreshadowing in his other titles, most prominently Green Lantern, while DC grand poobah Dan Didio dropped [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Grayson, that is. (What, you thought something else&#8230;? Dirty mind. Shame on you.)
Dick Grayson, formerly Nightwing, formerly Robin, has had a strong fan following for years, especially since he grew up and stepped out of the red-and-green costume (and his mentor&#8217;s shadow) a quarter-century ago. Now the character has done what in one sense always [...]]]></description>

The &#8220;how&#8221; and &#8220;why&#8221; of it weren&#8217;t really explained. But DC Comics&#8217; editorial poobah Dan DiDio has written that it was his plan since he came to the company to bring Barry back, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I followed Watchmen when it was first released, one issue at a time, back in 1986-&#8217;87, well before the collected edition appeared. It was must-read material at the time, and the month-to-month suspense was tremendous. In fact, I routinely ordered an extra copy or two just to pass around the dorm, as several friends of [...]]]></description>

First off:  the wrangling in Washington over the new &#8220;economic stimulus package&#8221; has been interesting to watch. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What.
The fuck.
Was that?
Seriously. Final Crisis #7 was every bit as crashingly disappointing as I feared it would be, and more so. Grant Morrison&#8217;s reach clearly far, far exceeded his grasp.
It certainly did exemplify a writing style he earlier described (warned? threatened?) as &#8220;channel-zapping,&#8221; though, and gods willing no one will ever be tempted to try [...]]]></description>
