One more to show you, then onto the texty portion of today's bloggery:
Thanks, Ren. I think. If I have nightmares, expect a loud phone call
Inspired by an odd near-interview with a comics personality1, I once again throw this blog open to questions from you, the readers. As a bonus/incentive, there's a genuine prize for the person who asks the most interesting, thought provoking, funny, or arbitrarily-considered-worthy-query of me, your humble host. You can win the first three issues of JLA Classified, featuring Grant Morrison telling an insane tale (is there any other kind from him?) of Batman versus Gorilla Grodd while the JLA are trapped in another universe.
As far as rules go: I am the one person who gets to say what the greatest question is and any arguing will be met with a stern kick to the rear and possibly some comments about your parentage. This runs until 11:59PM on Wednesday, February 17th. Yup, just a few days this time, so get cracking. Ask in comments, I'll answer in the blog.
Oh, and FYI, you should read Ed Cunard's excellent look at blogging, reviewing, and comics journalism online because he managed to avoid the obligatory "Giant Sized" joke in the following bit:
Blogs are, by nature, biased--they're the opinions and thoughts of one (or a few) people. However, I don't think any blog is claiming to be anything but that, which is where the difference comes in. Sites generally seem to want some kind of authority--look at how they clamor to get quoted on comics and trades, or to nab "exclusive" interviews, which makes any accusation of bias more damaging than saying, "well, fuck, that Mike Sterling likes Swamp Thing so much, so of course he's going to slight Man-Thing because he's biased."
1No, I won't go into any detail beyond that, even if you ask.
