Team C&D

We talk story on comicbooks, music, flicks and all the creative mediums that stream through to influence and inspire.  Hailin from SF & ATL with aloha roots- we rightfully scribe to represent our locales.

Who am I    Started blogging on all things local as a Yelper in 2006 and since then have been finding more and more comic shops and comic-book themed topics making way in my reviews. So the natural step was to start centering my blog-style on comics.

Thankfully, I have fellow imaginauts in this thang that augments my flow through their very different viewpoints but similar passion for things that go BOOM and POW both visually and mentally.

Like many of my fanboy-fam I ate up all things Marvel as a youth but have since grown up to become a hardcore DC-head.  Damn that SDCC 09 for making me dive deeper into geekdom by getting me hooked on toys again and well pushing me to share my fly experiences with the rest of the multiverse. There are no barriers to art and the many vehicles it chooses to travel through. I am here for the ride. Are you?

Who am I  I'm a melange of simple, random, complicated, loyal, genuine, observant, aloof & weird... I have multiple alias' & personalities (but they are under control, so don't fret, i'm not insane)... I like words, from simple to multi-syllabic, their meanings/synonyms/antonyms. One of my favorite websites is merriam-webster.com... big O recently got me back into the comic book game after a 15+ year hiatus. Thanks bro... I started collecting comic books in the mid-80's for about 10 years.

Back then comic books cost $0.60/book. When they started to cost $2.00/book I stopped. Coincidentally, this is the same time female relations were high on my social priority list... Back then, I only paid attention to the artwork in comic books with no regard to the story or writer. Now I feel that the writer/story is equally as important as the artwork... Tim & O, so it begins...

CONTRIBUTORS

Who am I    An open minded-critical thinker that shares the global excitement and passion for all things penciled, inked, written and indestructible. Thinking of a master plan…for the politically charged, socially conscious, creative individuals who takes to time to escape to the pages of another world…it ain’t nothing but vision inside our hands.

Started collecting at the age of 10 and never stopped. Throughout sports, girls, marriage and career, I checked in periodically with Leifeld and Lee to favorites Madureira and Nord. Passion never died as stories and art continue to strive while Optimus, Hulk and more are brought to life on the big screen. O and I would rush home from school to catch Voltron, Snake Eyes and Panthro. All while grinding a fat bowl of Golden Grahams, shoes off and eyes wide open.

We hope to capture all things nostalgic, unseen, unheard, blown up, Sho Kosugi, deflected, laser blasted, mind tricked, dropped kicked, sword driven, gun toting, sexually charged, chi-harnessed, politically smart, musically gifted and fashionably updated. Once again it’s on!

Wot I like   * Comics * writing * political essays * biographies * music * comedians * collaboration
* eureka moments * essays * health * fantasy sports * college football * mixed plates and poke'

Wot I listen to   * Hip-Hop * Indie Pop * Hawaiian * Sludge Rock * Reggae * DJ Battles * 70 & 80's R&B * Classic Rock * Jazz * Acoustic Rock * Legends of Guitar

Sex Power Move:  Tactile Telekinesis


Who am I  My name is Bucky, straight from Kentucky. Actually it's Indiana, but that didn't rhyme. My good friend Omar invited me pontificate about all things comics in his lil' blog sandbox, so here I am. *doffs hat to Omar & JJ* Right off the bat, I am white and I don't have a clue what Dakine means. So there's that.
