Spidey, Volume 1: First Day by Robbie Thompson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This book takes a look at Spidey as a modern teenager start out at mid-town High.

The first issue is a bit rough. It's frentic and jumps all over the place. It features the out of character moment where Gwen Stacy punches Flash... Read more of this blog post »

That's the lame in children's classics. Not "lame children's classics." Since I sprained my ankle badly recently, I have been reflecting on how most of my understanding of the experience of being unable to walk was shaped by children's classics. No physical disability is more common in children's... Read more of this blog post »

This is happening!! I'm a real author, baby!

So, I'm a dork. This shouldn't be surprising.

Because Complications ran well over 125k, I had no problem trimming it down. That's not to say I actually deep-sixed those scenes. This is the epilogue I would have used to tie up one loose end, except for the fact that Pandora Gautier was never aware of the fact Mark worked for the WBIS.

Three years (+ a couple months) ago, I started a story. A story about a girl, a draft, a pastor, and some really fascinating side characters.

Vivo secondo la mia natura. E mi mangio tutto. E sono il Nord - di chi ha perso la bussola - e come tale genero freddo.
