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.

Zounds!
I think I'm at 49. And I'm finally getting back into the habit of updating, so 50's going up today or tomorrow, I think. (What with taking a course, doing a massive amount of reading this fall, and TAing two classes, I had let my blogging slide since late August.)
When no one was looking, Geoff Klock made fourhundred posts. He made 400 posts.
That is as many as four hundreds.
And that's terrible.
Christian: ?
Congratulations!
Here's to the next 400!
Myself, I've done something like 361... but then, I've been doing it twice as long as you have. Ah well.
SF
Hah. Sorry, I was afraid that reference was a little obscure.

(Sorry again for the horrible YtMND link.)
Love the blog and also your book! I discovered you when you guest starred on the Comic Geek Speak podcast. I have one request. I recently purchased the Filth tp. I would love to read your thoughts/analysis. Keep up the good work and congrats on your long running blog.

Christian -- that site wont load properly, but is it some kind of superhero counting primer for kids?
Anon: I thought about the Filth. The thing is I am trying to get away from Morrison a bit. But thanks for the kind words
Congrats Doc Klock! You're my favorite innernerd blog person.
congrats, babe! Sorry I haven't checked up on you in awhile, but y'know, I'm sort of living in my brooklyn studio now...
