A quick shout-out
I don't have much today (but I might have San Diego pics tomorrow) but I will tell you of two people who are ending up on the blogroll and I'll tell you why they're ending up there.
Focused Tonality and Double Articulation are new and awesome. A lot of people think they can just get an account through Blog*spot, go on and on about what they bought on Wednesday and that'll be enough. Usually it ain't. The reason why both Mark Fossen and Jim Roeg (any relation to movie director Nicholas Roeg?) have caught mine and many other's attention is because the way they write about comics is smart, reasoned and (this bit being very important) makes me think about the comics I read with them in different ways.
I just read Desolation Jones #2 and thought I'd perhaps go on about it here. After reading Mark's review I figured I have nothing to add, his essay is just that good. Jim shares my interest in Fantastic Four and I think it's great he delves right into Fantastic Four #1 or a John Byrne issue and the recent film. He manages to come up with some interesting thoughts about All Star Batman, a book where there's no shortage of talk about it.
To be honest these guys, along with other bloggers like Jog, make me mad. That is they make me mad at myself. While I'm taking a day to a week to come up with how I'll evaluate a book these guys have their stuff out quickly. That's okay; it pushes me to be a better blogger. I like when this kind of competition springs up, bringing out the best in all of us (that's the idea at least).
