Recently, Val D’Orazio asked a lot of comics pros the following question:
“Do you think the comic book industry, and its principal players, should be subject to the sort of public scrutiny and (at times) gossip that others in the entertainment field are subject to?”
I haven’t been among the respondents, because I am not important, and [...]
Given the title and premise of Inside Out, the only surprise that should come with the news that I’m posting a series in honor of National Coming Out Day is that I’ve taken this long to get around to it.
But I’m going to make up for lost time, and you’re going to help–and with luck, [...]
I’m baaaaaack!
I’d like to be able to say that I’m back and rarin’ to go, but honestly, I’m still pretty run down. It’s been a hell of a month. Months. Year. And what I’d like to do more than anything else is call in to work and curl up under a big, fluffy blanket with [...]

Today, boys and girls, we’re going to talk about Misty Lee’s body. She’s been talking about other people’s, so it seems only fair.
