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.

Hi,
Since u can probably track down my IP address, I will like to say, without exposing my name, that I am one of your non-verbal zombie students. Do you teach poetry or some other kind of writing? Sorry to hijack your blog but you don't welcome emails; ya' said so in your syllabus :(
Also, I actually like your blog. can I link it to my blog with your permission.
I don't have comments posted on mine, but my blog is linked to my business website, and that girl gets a lot of traffic.
Please post more stuff on Serenity and anything sci-fi or David Bowie.
I welcome e mails from students, just not on frivolous topics. Of course you can link to my blog from your blog.
Hi Geoff:
I just posted something at my blog that I'd really like you and your readers to check out. I'm not sure if it qualifies as what you consider as a "guest blog entry", since it's basically just a pathetic plea for assistance... let me know what you think, at any rate. Thanks.
Geoff - you need to put your pimp hand down. You should put up a photo of you chilling in a nice suit and tie. You're Dr. Klock, baby!
re: Vanity. I'm similarly sensitive to pictures that make it appear that my hairline is receding (which it is, albeit slowly), and often untag myself in Facebook photos when pics are unflattering in various ways.
Which is simply to say that I think a small amount of vanity is healthy.
And just in case the non-verbal zombie student is still checking up on this thread - is that a term that you invented on your own, or did Geoff throw it out there? Because I'm actually quite amused by it. (I simply refer to you folks as 'the back row'.)
Hola Geoff -
Thanks for the comments over at my site, I appreciate the time. I'll let you know how things are progressing with the kids.
