Pretty soon the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA)is going to be voted on. Adam didn’t really see what the big deal was. Don’t we all want to stop online piracy? Well, after looking a little more into it he realized that stopping piracy may not be what this Bill is about. To discuss the contents of the Bill a little further Adam brings in Steve Niles, proponent of the Creator Owned “movement” and 30 Days of Night.

‘Tis the season to be thankful and as usual the Dollar Bin sets aside petty disapointments to be thankful for what the comics industry has brought us in the year 2011. This year Adam, Brian, Shacka, and Shawn will break down what they are thankful for by publisher, much like Adam organizes his books.

Let’s face it: superheroes can be kinda dopey. For every cultural icon like Superman or Spider-Man, there’s five thousand off-beat B-listers (Bwana Beast? Sonny Sumo? Razorback?) lining up to die in the next big crossover event. For HeroesCon 2010, (Eisnor nominated) Amelia Eahart: This Broad Ocean cartoonist, Ben Towle, and Thought Balloonist blogger, Craig Fischer, host a lovingly critical look at just how bizarre the superhero genre can be.
