Brian Hibbs: Slowly He Turned…

Brian Hibbs kicks a Wizard anniversary article on the biggest news stories since 1991 in the nads not once but twice -- once for writing about the speculator boom and bust while ignoring their own direct role in that extended fiasco, another time for writing without irony about the creation of Image Comics and the Death of Superman in the same way that earlier press coverage of same also contributed to the speculation boom and bust. This is just as darkly hilarious and also as frustrating as Hibbs indicates. As much as people like to crack on The Comics Journal, they'd likely never publish an article about, say, the coarsening of comics dialog on message boards and completely ignore their own potential culpability in that enterprise. Also, Hibbs reminds us that the magazine likely used inside information to profit on sales of Captain America #25.
