New GRID Column at TCJ: Discussion Forum
My new column will be up at The Comics Journal on Thursday.
I make ten observations about Daniel Clowes's The Death-Ray that I hope will kickstart a conversation about the comic.

Justice League #1 Examined
My sixth GRID column will be up at The Comics Journal on Monday.

Normally I write about comics I like and try to explain what's interesting about them.
This time I take a different approach.
