Hey, That’s My Cape!
If you hadn’t noticed, I like writing about comics. So when my boss over at Heartless Doll, the lovely Andrea Grimes, asked me if I wanted to write a weekly column about them I said ABSOLUTELY NOT, then came up with the most ridiculous name for it I could – Hey, That’s My Cape!
I expect great things and so should you. Surprisingly, my first HTMC! column is not about superheroes! Here’s a taste:
From Vertigo Comics, The Unwritten appeared on almost everyone’s lists for best new comics of 2009, and I’d have to agree. I don’t take in too much non-superhero fare in my weekly trip to the local comic shop, but Mike Carey and Peter Gross’ tale pulled me in immediately. I’d seen a preview of the first issue in another Vertigo book, and although it looked like a blatant rip-off of Harry Potter, it had the kind of twist I couldn’t ignore. Something else I couldn’t ignore? The one-dollar price tag. Sold!
Head on over to Heartless Doll and read the rest of HTMC!: The Unwritten.
You are amazing!!!
You don't have enough jobs, slacker. Stop being so lazy.
I just left you a comment over at your new column. I have to follow my favorite blogger wherever she goes.
Love the title, by the way!
My best friend loves The Unwritten. He gives it high praise on Newsarama.
Sweet, thanks! Glad to have you here. :)
Just found you via ToplessRobot.com! I've read through the last couple months of your blog (okay, not EVERY post), and your review of The Unwritten over at HeatlessDolls. I quite enjoy your work and you've convinced me to check out The Unwritten. I'd been considering the comic for a while, but Carey leaves me cold in his Marvel stuff. Anyway, you've got yourself a new reader. Cheers!
