I don’t think you should focus on any one thing, but if you could review some of what you think are the best books by or on these comic book masters, I’d be thrilled.

]]>Oh, right: Popimage! Slipped my mind– my apologies. Uh: Nevermind.
]]>Now Chris, reviews, no to the negative reviews unless it’s one of those instances where you absolutely have to take the piss out of something [but even then it’s better just to rant then rant, type it up and unleash it] or if it’s more in a rational/critical vein then a rant [ i.e. “such and such was a good idea though horribly executed”]
ditto on the previews comment, speaking for myself I tend to forget about things by the time they come out [or I simply didn’t even know it was coming out] and we both have the tendency to notice things eachother missed – many of which deserve to be highlighted to your readers, for instance, John Pham has a new book coming out, don’t know what it’s called or when it comes out, but i’ll definitely buy it
as for what to review, take one of our typical conversations “Chris? Have you read this?” “Yes. It’s good. Buy it” “O-Kay.” and expand on it, y’know, add in some whats and whys – whether its kids books, manga, superheroes, euro, etc. – is it really good and is it worth buying?
also, anything you can get Andrew to read is probably worth reviewing [I still haven’t read Tokyo is my Garden, despite being one of the books I most looked forward to getting this year]
you could easily do theme reviews, i.e. 1st second books, doug wright nominee books, anything you brought back from SD, etc. but I would only go that route unless they’re books you really feel strongly about/want to have your say about
all that aside, sorry i didn’t get to chat more/stick around more – you were naturally very busy otherwise we would’ve stolen you away for a bite, another day we’ll get time to sit

]]>Oh– I should clarify that: I’ve been happy with the answers and the people who’ve been nice enough to say yes to the interviews; I just haven’t felt like I’ve ever managed to ask the right set of questions, yet.
