I’m having one of those problems that aren’t actually a problem. This past Christmas, I finally shook loose a chunk of change large enough to nab me one of those fancy tablet devices I’ve seen two year old kids chewing on at restaurants, and since then, I’ve been having trouble getting articles out. This is entirely my fault, of course: I’ve never been great at compartmentalizing, and so when I was met by the torrent of media available for tablets, I let myself wash away in the stream. Now I’m trying to claw my way back. This might take some time.

The problem is this: between my current physical too-read pile, and the stacks of digital comics I have amassed through ComiXology and Marvel’s Unlimited app, I’ve been spending far too much time trying to figure out what to read next, instead of actually reading things. This leads to some severe whirlwind trips to and from runs both old and new, with ideas for articles swirling in the eddies of every issue. All of those random issues and ideas end up piling up until they become a roiling mass of unintelligible information that I have to force myself to communicate in some way, shape or form. What I used to do is no longer working - so it’s time to take this problem and make things small.

Every day, you’re going to start seeing small random posts from me in and around the larger bits of content that we offer on this site. The intent is to bite off chunks of the roiling mass with an eye to form something bigger and better later. It starts today, with this post. It will continue, hopefully, for the remainder of the year, and beyond. Hey, this is a blog is it not? We’re always talking about how we love those who use the comic book format to the fullest, and here we are, wasting a perfectly good blog with regular articles that have become late-as-hell through the result of deadlocked brains and fatigue. It’s time for content. Let’s get on with the show.
