It's somehow a little bit too self-aggrandizing for me to talk about any of the comics I've edited over the years as a PERFECT GAME, the category that I might have featured this issue under. Given that it won the Eisner Award for Best Single Issue in 2016, though, I feel as though there's a … Continue reading Personal Best: SILVER SURFER #11
A post from my now-vanished Marvel blog concerning my history with Doctor Who. The Doctor is In April 28, 2007 | 1:00 AM | By Tom_Brevoort | In General I'm a big fan of the British series Doctor Who. The old show, the new show. I've been watching it since the very early '80s, and … Continue reading Blah Blah Blog – The Doctor Is In
Most long-running comic book companies, if they're in business for long enough and have a wide enough diversity of creators working on their releases, reach a point at which those creators begin to pull inspiration for their stories and characters from other media. Comics in general have a long history of reflecting the trends of … Continue reading 5BC: Five Times Marvel Misappropriated Characters
S02EP13 - This was the finale to the second season/series of BLAKE'S 7 and is a watershed episode in both for the transition moment that it represents and the unfulfilled potential of what might have been .

I'm not really a believer in the concept of a "guilty pleasure". I like enough stupid stuff from all across the spectrum that there's really no other way to handle it all other than to embrace the assorted flaws and failings of it all, and just love it unironically. And yet still, with REMO WILLIAMS: … Continue reading Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins

In my household, … Continue reading Doctor Who: Spyfall part one
It’s Christmas Eve as I write this, and for the last near-decade, at least in my household, my children have learned about the true meaning of Christmas. Christmas, you see, is when Dad watches Doctor Who. Since the show came back in 2005, viewing each year’s Christmas Special has been something of a ritual, a … Continue reading DOCTOR WHO
