One thing that I’m really enjoying about the latest run of Action Comics is Gary Frank’s art.
She’s still got a belly shirt and a really short skirt but damned if she doesn’t at least look a little younger than most other artists tend to draw her.
Oh, and this interaction with Cat Grant?
Priceless and clearly an early shoe-in for the long dormant page of the week.

When I started this blog two years and about a week ago (can’t believe that I missed my blogoversary, dammit) I’d stopped posting over at Paperback Reader and missed having that outlet – so I started this blog. I wasn’t too sure what I wanted to do with it but basically I missed having somewhere to sound off.
I’ve been pretty lucky since then, I think. I’ve met some good people through the blog; mainly online but a couple in person and that more than makes it worth it. The bloggers that I really like – such as Val, Nick, Mike, Johnny, Melissa, Gordon, Stephen, David and Mike to name just a few off the top of my head – and everyone who reads and comments on this blog and theirs really make this odd little blogger community a friendly (most of the time, anyway!), interesting place.
Lately though I’ve been wondering what I’m actually doing with the blog. I restarted posting on Paperback Reader but stopped that again a few months ago because I couldn’t help but feel that I didn’t have anything to say that I don’t say here. This week I turned down a great opportunity to reach a wider audience, mainly because I wasn’t sure of what I could bring to it and I wasn’t sure that I could bring it on a regular basis and didn’t want to let anyone down by overcommitting.
I feel like I still have things to say but right now I’m finding it harder and harder to do so with a positive attitude. I’m invariably snarky and negative when I talk about books I’m getting or books I’ve read and that’s not what I want. I like comics; I love comics – and I don’t want to be negative about them all the time.
Maybe I need a little more structure to the blog – maybe regular features or something? I have my ‘…of the week‘ and the ‘Pull list‘ but do I need something else?
Whatever, I think I need some help and advice. You stop by (and hopefully you come back) so what do you like seeing?
If you have any suggestions, recommendations or criticisms, let me know – you might just save my blog!
