Newsarama published two of my reviews!

[Shag]

Newsarama published two of my comic book reviews yesterday! I'm honored to join their BEST SHOTS team! Special thanks to my editor for guiding my ramblings towards some semblance of a well constructed review. Also, my thanks to Vanessa of Girls-Gone-Geek for the introduction! 

Check out my reviews here!

Sorry for the shameless self-promotion. I'm just excited.

Very cool, Shag!

Great job, Van!  Go War Eagles!

Caw!

[Luke Jaconetti]

I saw this yesterday... good job dude!

[Luke Jaconetti]

Oh yeah, wanted to mention, welcome to the club!  While I have never had a review published on Newsarama, I did get a question selected once for their old "20 Answers and 1 Question With Dan DiDio" column from a few years back!

What did I do?

That is very, very cool!  Congratulations.

Well you did write all those books.  That's worth a "great job" right?

[Van]

What?  I'm lost.  

This was about Shag's accomplishment. What do I have to do with it?

Ravenface isn't answering...

I figure Ravenface made a typographical error.

 

You asked "What did I do?"

 

So I answered. :)

[Jennifer Walker]

Really? I just figured Ravenface was being snarky.

Oh, for the love of... I seriously have to explain the... 

I saw someone self-promoting, so I just assumed it was Van. A natural assumptions, since that's 98% of his "contribution." Well, other than the occasional trolling - "I heard someone at an Alabama bus stop say Empire Strikes Back aint the bess, do you reckon it's true?" which, when responded to, is met with something seemingly computer generated like, "Wow, great answer, did you know Amazon is now carrying my books?"

And Luke's response to Shag's achievement (which is legitimate a big deal as far as these things go. Newsarama is comic's "paper of record") was, "Hey, great job, I mean, of course I was on there first, but it's cool to have company on top of this awesome mountain where I've lived for a long time. Make yourself at home. What did I get on there? Oh, nothing less than one of my softball questions handpicked by a moderator to put Dan DiDio in a good light. Man, the guy sure needs the help, right? Gosh, with me helping him, and you promoting his books, it's like we're both working for DC. See you at the company softball game. Ha ha. 'Cause of my easy question. Softball? Oh, heck, once you've been on Newsarama as long as I have, you'll start getting the culture. We tell a lot of jokes around here. You're gonna fit in just fine, little guy."

Hope I didn't make any new typographical errors!

This guy gets it!

So, let me ask you a question:

 

Are you naturally this much of a schmuck, or do you have to take classes for it?  Perhaps an online course, or a correspondence school?

 

Seriously, get over yourself.  Your brand's a little stale.

[rave...@aol.com]

Had to google "schmuck."  Seems to mean "jewelry." Not sure I understand.

Are you calling me a diamond bracelet?  Thank you?

[Shag]

Okay folks. Thanks for your feedback on my post. We're done here. Move along. Nothing more to see.
