Jason Powell has taken on the yeoman's job of doing an issue by issue analysis of Chris Claremont's 17 year Uncanny X-Men run in an effort to make me feel bad for saying Morrison invented all kinds of things he did not in his New X-Men run, and for spelling Claremont "Clairmont" in my superhero book.
Scott McDarmont (Scott91777) is an Instructor Of English at Radford University, Radford VA, an avid reader of books by guys named Chuck, he usually “waits for the trade” on comics unless Frank Miller is somehow involved. He owns more Def Leppard CDs than Bob Dylan CDs and he is ‘Ok’ with this and, while he may answer different publicly, he secretly feels that The Empire Strikes Back is the best movie ever made. He also feels that there are two kinds of people in the world: Indiana Jones people and John McClane people. He considers himself an Indiana Jones person
Jill Duffy, girl reporter, is a professional writer and editor in New York. She spent five years covering video game development in both San Francisco and London, examining the art, science, and business of the industry, and in 2006 was named one of the top 100 most influential women in the game industry. Her work has appeared in The Examiner newspaper in San Francisco, where she was the food section editor, as well as Game Developer, Gamasutra.com, Intelligent Enterprise, DigitalTrends.com, and several other publications. She holds a BA in English from the University at Buffalo. Indeed, she is on the Twitter and also keeps a blog about food.
Andy Bentley is a graphic designer in upstate New York. The first series of Batman movies got him in a comic book store and the DC animated series made him a life long fan. His senior thesis was a short film on the culture of comic books. Animal Man, Starman, and Preacher are among his favorite comic runs. He is an avid toy collector and enjoys playing basketball, mash-ups, karaoke and dark beers. He will be sequestered most of September with The Beatles: Rock Band.

The new design is looks great. Awesome job Sara.
neat and to the point...I like it. The kind of thing I can never pull off.
ta everyone, and you're v. welcome to "my fiancee" Geoff. hah.
before videoblogging I'd actually like to overhaul the whole blog. right now I feel like the header doesn't match the main content, so I'll work on that.
Swanky.
Geoff, I'm curious why you're jumping over audio blogging/podcasting to do a video blog.
Are you going to be using visuals and such that makes a video blog necessary, or do you just want us to see your purdy face?
Either way, I look forward to it. Hell, I wish you could put up video of the class you're teaching. I'm sure your lectures are interesting.
Very nice, Sara. And congratulations to the two of you on the engagement.
thanks marc, although we've been engaged now for...3 years this past April. But it's even more interesting than that. Just cos you didn't ask, here's some facts about G and Me:
- We have been together for almost 8 years
- Our Anniversary is Halloween
- We've been living together for 7 years
- We will be getting married on our 9th anniversary
- Our 1 year anniversary as a married couple will be our 10th anniversary as a couple (incidentally, I will also just have turned 30. joy of joys.)
- It was while reading Batman: The Long Halloween, by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale, together that I fell in love with him.
and those, marc, are our stats.
Awwww....!
Sweet design and sweet story Sara. Long Halloween on Halloween, huh? Nice.
I'm liking the design, Sara and Geoff. And the "stats" are cute. So, does that mean you're getting married on Halloween 2008, or did I do my math wrong?
