Roger’s Comic Ramblings: Baltimore Comic-Con 2010 report
By Roger Ash
A few weeks back, I wrote about how much I like going to comic conventions. I got to indulge in that pleasure the weekend of August 28 & 29 when I attended the 11th annual Baltimore Comic-Con. I love going to the Baltimore Comic-Con because it is one of the few shows that focuses specifically on comics. It’s also a unique show for me as I’ve been part of the convention staff for the past two years. I met convention organizer Marc Nathan a number of years back at a DC Comics function, and we hit it off and quickly became friends. Last year, Marc asked if I’d program the panels for him. I agreed. I guess I did OK as he asked me to do it again this year.

As I write this, I’m listening to John Siuntris interview Kelly Sue DeConnick for his Word Balloon podcast. Maybe if you listen to it while reading this, you’ll understand me just a little bit better…

Roger’s Comic Ramblings: Feeling Nostalgic
by Roger Ash
I’ve been feeling nostalgic recently; nostalgic for a time when the world made sense and people weren’t at each other’s throats if they disagreed with each other. When I’m feeling nostalgic, certain things bring me comfort – Disney films, grilled cheese sandwiches and chocolate milkshakes, and comic books. I think the recent passing of Fess Parker exacerbated my nostalgia as his portrayal of Davy Crockett in the Disney films and Daniel Boone in the non-Disney TV show were a pleasant part of my childhood.
The Fifth Degree: Do Some Good
by Josh Crawley
I want you buy comics and be entertained when I write these columns; usually. This time around though, it’s a little different. It’s more along the lines of asking you to buy a cool sketchbook or anthology and not just be entertained, but to do some good while you’re entertained.
KC’s Bookshelf – Stan’s Soapbox: The Collection
by KC Carlson
Without a doubt, over his long career Stan Lee has written (or co-written) some of the most seminal moments in comic history. Whether it was Galactus vs. the Fantastic Four for the fate of the Earth or the most heartbreaking moment in the life of young Peter Parker, or even that photo shoot with Millie the Model (you remember…), Stan has stood proud as one of the greatest and most celebrated writers in heroic illustrated fiction.
