BtS on Hiatus

TOP_Comics_TOP_01

Well I’ve met to post this for a while now but it’s pretty bloody obvious that this blog is on a hiatus now.

not-approved-comic-codeThis blog has a history that was tied to a certain comic book store in Vancouver, Canada (You know, where the 2010 Winter Olympics were) called ELFSAR COLLECTION COMICS & TOYS. Sadly Elfsar had to close down in May so in many ways, it’s closing has also put the final nail into the coffin of this blog. If I had ANY thought of returning and sparking this sucker up, it’s all gone now. Elfsar was the spark that had me start REALLY bad reviews over on Happy Harbor Comics website. That went on for a while until I thought, why not just start my own blog doing the same thing and ranting about whatever else I wanted. So I did and BtS was born. It went through many looks & feel until finding the latest incarnation. Now don’t get me wrong, I do miss it at times but overall I think running this blog took a great deal out of me in ways I haven’t still realized. I managed this blog almost as much or more than working 8 hours a day and that got to be too much in general. That and I feel my appreciation for comic books lately has been at an all time low so I have little to talk about.

I know many friends I know wished I kept the blog up and running but never truly understood it was like feeding a forever hungry zombie… and I FUCKING HATE Zombies!

So for now the blog is again on a Hiatus. If you feel the fucked up strange need to listen to my rambles, you can catch me on Twitter here:

I’m not closing up shop as I like the digital footprint this leaves so feel free to browse and lick the carpet, you might find something you like. That said, I’m closing the comments now for the entire site and all older posts.

No bags and boards!

stop-wrapping-your-floppies.jpg

Well to support “Blog Action Day!” today, I am going to ask that us comic book geeks start thinking about our geeky future.

Instead of wrapping a comic condom around your latest issue of “The Umbrella Academy #1 – first printing” – don’t. Stop and think of all your bloody comics and the waste of plastic used to keep them pristine and perfect. When you go to your Local Comic Shop to get your latest addiction, bring your own bag – perferablly a cloth bag. I plan to start doing that. I do it when I go shopping, why not do it when I got to my LCS?

I stopped with the bags and boards ages ago. I honestly did not have the time to tape them up and do all those obessive complusive crap that goes with such old school mentallity. Sure they cost a billion dollars an issue but so what… they are only comics. I used to put a high praise on them. I used to wrap them up with the comic condoms and stiffies but now, I will throw in a bag and often they spill out, edges get bent, creased, fingerprints all over them. Thats what comics should be like. Even my trades. Do I wrap them up? Hell no! They are stacked all over my place until I get my lazy ass to put them away!

Please stop with the phallic wrapping your floppies! Enjoy them but not with the one handed reading – no matter how cute Bomb Queen is!!!! :P
