Introduction

Introductions can be tricky. Since I am new to blogging, I'm not exactly sure how to start, because I don't really know who my target audience is yet. You may know me. You may not. You may like me, you may loathe me. But either way, you're here, so you must be interested enough in what I have to say to at least want to ridicule me for it, and beggers can't be choosers.

So welcome.

I have a number of interests, most of them placing me squarely (and unapologetically I might add) in the geek camp. Despite this fact, I am a functional, and occasionally even productive, member of society. But make no mistake, I am a geek. My friends, by and large, are geeks.

And that's OK.

I've carved out this little corner of cyberspace (does anyone really call it that anymore) to talk about the primary recipient of my available disposable income: publishers of hardcover comic books. Or graphic novels, if you prefer. I am a snob when it comes to format, to be sure, but I'm pretty ambivalent about the nomenclature (see, I *told* you I was a geek).

So look for periodic postings (Hhow's that for aliteration!? Eat your heart out Stan Lee) on what publishers are doing right, what they are doing wrong, and what they aren't bothering to do at all, when it comes to publishing material in the durable hardcover format.

And if you have something to add - or subtract as the case may be - feel free to chime in. And thanks for stopping by.
