I have a lot to do today and it’s going to take basically all my focus and motivation to do it…so I’m going to write a kind of ridiculous unplanned blog post first! That probably sounds counter-productive, but I’m hoping it will both clear my mind of the rambly ranty thoughts currently inside it and… Read More Rant: Captain Marvel, Crossovers, and Going Mainstream
The guys who made that comic I keep talking about and writing devotionals on also wrote a Marvel series back in 2013 and for some reason it’s taken me till this month to start it. I probably shouldn’t be surprised that I found more excellent comics theology there and couldn’t wait to talk about it.… Read More Comics Theology
Warming up for my serious writing today with a “what I’ve been doing/loving” post here. This also happens to scratch the “oh no I think I’ve been neglecting my blog” itch that’s started building at the back of my brain. I’m here! I have a really busy week ahead and have been prepping for it… Read More Recent Activities
Taking a little bit of a writing break this week while I deal with work and other money-related things. No long or complex posts. But I had a conversation on Twitter about a really ridiculous comment a Marvel exec made. We had actually been talking about comics in general and how I don’t think it’s… Read More Marvel “Diversity” Reading Recommendations
“Hey Zeph, what comic should I read to get started?” This is a question I get asked literally never but think about a lot. Partly because I don’t actually know a lot of people who read comics and if any of my friends ever decide they want to start, I want to be ready! But… Read More Top 5 Starter Comics
Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book to review. I wanted to love this book so much. I’ve been fascinated by the concept of Young Centurions and I’m always collecting books and games to use in education or parenting. Fate! Pulp, which is not really my thing but very close to steampunk and… Read More Review: Sally Slick and the Steel Syndicate
It’s been awhile since I did one of these. Book discussion time! This discussion has two parts. First, who are some of your favorite characters from books? (Any type of book, but I would like to stay with books rather than film and television.) Second, are there “types” of characters that show up on your… Read More Let’s Discuss: Favorite Characters
Whoa, that daily blogging schedule I had kind of went poof, huh? It’s not that I haven’t been writing much. I have, most days. It’s just that a lot of it hasn’t been on the blog. And I do prioritize the reading schedule because getting into that habit has been a lot harder for me,… Read More Week(s) In Review
I dunno, does Archie even count as “geek stuff”? Oh well, I’m going with it. But first, an announcement! Several months ago I submitted a piece of writing to a zine that would be put out by one of my favorite websites. And now it’s been published! You can check it out (and maybe even… Read More Things I’m Watching: Geek Stuff Gone Mainstream
I mentioned recently that I had put my Captain America stuff into storage because of recent events in the comics. After a conversation with a friend, I pulled some of it back out…and even added a couple. And put them in this simple, tiny Cap shrine. Shrine. That’s a fun word. Here’s a definition of… Read More Reclaiming Our Heroes
