APPARENTLY...geocities will be shutting down their free web-hosting service (I think sometime in October is the final deadline). So that basically means I can either move this site to a paid site (um, where I pay, not you, dear visitor) or simply say, "So long and thanks for the fish", shut it down, walk away and get another hobby. I'm currently on the fence. On one hand, maybe I should just let it go, I've had a nice run and maintaining these websites maybe being too much of an excuse to not do more important things. On the other hand, it has been fun, I am a narcissist and enjoy a plarform for expressing myself and, yes, believe it or not, I do get e-mails from people saying how they like my site(s). Anyway, I haven't decided yet. Just thought I'd post this for people who visit this site and let you know that if I move the site to another domain name, I'll let ya know.

GRAPHIC NOVEL and TRADE PAPERBACK (TPB) REVIEWS

Welcome to my reviews of various graphic novels and trade paperback collections. Included with each review are page count, listing of issues reprinted (in cases of collections), creator credits, publication date, and usually a cover scan. The reviews are intended to be, hopefully, interesting, maybe even provocative, but without giving away too much of the story (ie: spoilers) that can make them useless to someone interested in an opinion prior to buying a book. As for myself, I'm a writer of sorts, having had various short stories published, as well as reviews of comics, books, and movies. Yup, I've actually been paid for my opinions! Go figure.

There were over 2 500 hits on the original site between December of 1998 and September 1999. The counter's been acting wonky for weeks -- sometimes reading 000000! The correct number (as of May 2006) should be in the vicinity of over 40 000!

Comments can be e-mailed (NEW E-MAIL!) here -- particularly if you know of any errors onn my site. Since some of my TPB reviews are based on books I don't have, I might be wrong about the issues reprinted, credits, etc. Or if you happen to have a cover scan of one of the books I don't have a cover picture for, etc.

All logos and icons are copyright me (except, of course, the "X-Men" circle, and probably the "Batman"-Bat); all cover scans are copyright their respective owners, and are used for purposes of review only.
