So the 52Q series has returned over at Comic Book Daily and I’m going to try and get back on the follow up thoughts bandwagon. Plus, I need to prep for something else CBD related and this will get me

Chris answers the question, “What is the greatest uncollected storyline in comics?”
Interesting question this time, about serialized material that’s either out of print or has never been collected. It’s interesting mostly in what it says about the current atmosphere concerning single comics vs. book collections. The era of pawing through long

Chris answers the question, “Who is the one relatively new Writer or Artist that you plan on following their career very closely?”
I can’t really say a lot more than I did when originally answered this question. 2010 for me was all about Scott Chantler, Faith Erin Hicks and Caanan Grall. And I have been not only following them, but thanks to

Chris Answers the question, “As an adult reader what was the first comic that made you sit up and say “this is why I read comics”: please tell us why.
I came to reading comics in a bit of a roundabout way, and like most, I started with stuff that wasn’t that meritorious. I detailed it earlier, but this weeks question was about the comic that made you sit up

Chris answers the question, “Death in Comic Books is all the rage these days. If you were editor in chief at any company, who would you kill off and why?”

I’m not a big awards follower. I don’t watch the Oscars or the Gammy’s or such. Frankly, the idea of choosing one single film or song or other achievement and saying this was the single best thing of an entire

Chris answers the question, “Is The Big Bang Theory’s influence on comic culture positive or negative?”
I have never seen this show. I want that clear. I’m giving an opinion on something I know almost nothing about. I do know about being identified as a geek, nerd, etc. Until I reached my later years in High

Chris answers the question, “Which comic book property should be on the Small Screen?”
Admittedly, this question is a bit of a rub, or at least hypocritical for me to weigh in on. I’ve been pretty consistent in bemoaning the fate of TV and movies as a wasteland of new and original ideas. And worse, that

Chris answers the question, “Do you think it’s possible to overlook someone’s personal views and still be a fan of their work? Do you seperate the person from the artist? If so, who?”
This question was the product of harsh things said by Alan Moore and then more harsh words said by Jason Aaron about Moore and his statements. But the crux is a simple question. Can you separate the artist from the
