ComicMix Columns for the Week Ending Mar. 2, 2008
I love March, particularly the way the winds blow in such promise for the year to come. Spring training, buds on the trees, the hope that we can avoid any more snowstorms, it’s all fraught with positivity. Even our weekly ComicMix columnists seem to be more enthusiastic than usual (particularly Michael Davis with his Obama-at-SDCC teaser):
- Mike Gold – Whizzy’s Wazoo #55: Filling The Big Shoes
- Dennis O’Neil – The Four-Color Answer #55: The Super-Hero Car
- Me – It’s All Good #54: I, the Jury Duty
- John Ostrander – Tales From The O-zone #55: Other People’s Sandboxes
