* not comics: tracking potential box office receipts seems to me like a tedious enterprise, but folks get super-interested in this stuff. I think I'd care more if I gave a crap about the consequences (vastly overpaid executives being shuffled into new jobs; people not being allowed to make more entertainment product) or if the movies cost more to see if they cost more money. That said, I'd write about comics that way if the figures were available.

* Gavin Jasper on a bunch of the DC Comics New 52 funnybooks, six months in. John Kane on same. Ted Brown on Double Jumpers #1. Charles Yoakum on World's End Vol. 1. Don MacPherson on The Shade #5. Sean Gaffney on The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer Vol. 1. Grant Goggans on Strontium Dog: The Project. J. Caleb Mozzocco on Justice League #4. Augie De Blieck on a variety of comics. Chris Sims on a free on-line Avengers/Spider-Man comic book designed to teach kids about banking. David Uzumeri on Animal Man.
