Meanwhile at TWC - Batman & Robin Creative Team

I've mentioned it before, but these are my favorite pieces to write. Over at The Weekly Crisis, I put together a piece on the switches and changes that have affected the Batman & Robin title. I don't have any concrete answers, but I do propose several explanations and lay out the whole story as it happened (or at least how the readers saw it unfold). Here's a short excerpt:

Finally, with Batman & Robin #20, the creative team of Tomasi and Gleason started telling their tale. Surely, with months of preparation and hype behind it, it would be a long run by the two of them.

As it turns out, this isn’t the case at all. Issue #22 is going to be their last for at least three other months.

I've mentioned it before, but these are my favorite pieces to write. It's information that is all out in the open, but that must be pieced together to get the full picture.

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Note from the author: This original manifesto is terribly outdated, but I thought I'd leave it here for old time's sake.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