Some new reviews are up at Popculture Shock. That site will soon be replaced with a site called Buzzscope with a more comics oriented theme, until then my stuff will be viewable at PCS.

Congratulations, that's awesome! How did you get hooked up with this?

By the way, and I swear to God this is the last time I will ever bring this up, but here's a tip to help you differentiate "its" and "it's": if you can separate the thought you are expressing into "it is", then there should be an apostrophe there. If not, no apostrophe, no matter how strange it looks.

Example: "It is as though Michael Turner is drawing with his butt cheeks" can be turned into "It's as though Michael Turner is drawing with his butt cheeks". Conversely, "Marvel is doing its best to bring back the variant cover craze of the Nineties" can NOT be turned into "Marvel is doing it is best to bring back the variant cover craze of the Nineties". Y'see? I'm done now, I promise. I'm not Edward James Olmos, and you're not a group of tough inner-city middle school kids, so I have no business trying to teach you anyway.

Once again, congratulations! New job, new reviewing gig, new kitten...it seems like everything's coming up R-Lex.

Even easier way to remember.

It's is the same as 'tis. So just say it in Shakespearean and see if the sentence still makes sense.

The reason I like It's/'Tis better is because you don't need to remember whether it is goes with its or it's which is the whole problem.
