Ampersand Comics: Crisis!

Crisis!

This is basically my State of the Union address about this blog.

Last week, Kirk of the Weekly Crisis asked me to start contributing to his blog and I responded with something along the lines of "#@&% YEAH!". Kirk runs probably my favorite blog out of the many I read, and to even be asked to contribute to such a popular site is a huge honor for me. Today marks my first entry in the Weekly Crisis, A Look at Female Superheroes

This is the reason why I haven't been posting in my blog a whole lot this past week, the preparations and other things backstage have been keeping me busy. I had initially decided to try to keep updating both blogs, but later decided that it would be a little too much on my schedule. I want to contribute my very best effort into writing, and I felt that spreading it over two blogs would be detrimental to that cause. So from now on, all my comic-related entries (read: rants) will be in the Weekly Crisis.

If you enjoy my comic related writing, you should definitely head over to the Weekly Crisis, where I will be updating at least once a week. Additionally, you will also get to read the weekly comic book reviews by Kirk and the paperback reviews by Eric Rupe, who also just joined the blog.

This blog will also stay around, for all my non-comics related entries. I may also keep posting the Magic cards, haven't really decided yet. The posting schedule is basically "whenever I feel like or have time for", at least I get the handle of writing more and more on a weekly basis.

The Ampersand Manifesto

Note from the author: This original manifesto is terribly outdated, but I thought I'd leave it here for old time's sake.

The origin of this blog came about when I realized that my writing has become rather rusty. My literary muscles have grown weak and flabby and the only solution to it is to flex and exercise them, until they go back to their former state.

Everyone knows that you should write about what you love, and what I love is comics. I read them, I join discussions about them, I periodically hate them (and hate is just the flip side of love), so the decision to make a blog about comics came about rather easily.

My first thought was to do a weekly review of the comics that came out, but to be honest, there's plenty of other blogs that have been doing it for longer than I have and probably do it far better than I would. So instead I decided to write about what I am reading at the moment, whether it is old or new, good or bad, interesting or boring. I will try my very best to have one daily post or at least seven weekly posts.
