A few months ago I posted on DC Comic’s publicized reboot of their entire comic book franchise and argued this sort of bold action could be a good thing for the industry. Well, the reboot happened, and what’s the verdict? While there have been some very promising new books (I was particularly pleased with Grant [...]
This is an old tidbit, but nevertheless a good one that has (somehow) never made it to my blog. I’ve mentioned before the private equity consulting world’s penchant for silly project names, but while code names are not rare in the corporate world, more often than not, the names don’t tend to be dull and [...]
My love of comics stems from something quite simple: good cartoons. I grew up watching cartoons based on classic comic book storylines.

This seems almost made for me: I’m into comics. I do my own corporate style annual and quarterly reports to track how my finances and goals are going. And, I follow the biopharma industry. So, when I found out that a biotech company issued its latest annual report in the form of a comic book, [...]
DC Comics recently announced that they were doing a line-wide “reboot” of their comic book franchises: On Wednesday, August 31st, DC Comics will launch a historic renumbering of the entire DC Universe line of comic books with 52 first issues, including the release of JUSTICE LEAGUE by NEW YORK TIMES bestselling writer and DC Entertainment [...]
Almost one year ago, I posed a few wishes for Smallville’s 10th and final season. So, how did this season do? Epic heroic scope: Taking on the embodiment of all human evil and a misguided movement to outlaw vigilantes count?
