Beginning now as a contributing columnist for Paperback Reader

Today, with this starting column, in which I ponder an the difference in reactions to Marvel and DC's "event" publishing of last year (and also try and offer some positive arguments for both Sue Dibny and Jean Loring), I begin now as a contributor to Paperback Reader.

Let me thank Chris Partin and company again for their invitation to join their editorial staff, which was quite a pleasant surprise (again, I do hope there's no hard feelings from Barry, whom, as I assured later on, my disagreement with one of his earlier columns wasn't personal, of course). In fact, now that I think of it, Paperback Reader may be by far one of the best websites to come my way, and I most certainly do enjoy writing.

I've already submitted another column in the meantime, and for now, I'll see if I can work things out on a bi-weekly basis.

In the meantime, I'd thought of something else that I could do as a blog project for whenever I'm blogging. I won't say what it is just now, just that it's mostly history related, but I'll hopefully get around to it.

Meanwhile, let me thank Chris and company again, and I hope to be able to do my best, for both them and me, in writing all about my leading favorite pastime, comics.
