In which we reveal the dirty little secret of SnoutCast, i.e., that we record on alternate weeks and simply release episodes weekly. Quelle horreur! You’ll be able to hear our Shinteki Decathlon 6 review next week, on June 8th. If…

Book Report: Panel One: Comic Book Scripts by Top Writers

Curtis Chen
May 27, 2010

I’m not calling this a “comic book report” because, even though it is a collection of comic book scripts, it is not itself a comic book. Did I just blow your mind? Anyway. It’s very instructive to see how differently…

Comic Book Report: Invincible Iron Man, Vol. 2: World’s Most Wanted, Book 1

Curtis Chen
May 26, 2010

I’m reserving final judgment until I see the next volume, which I believe concludes this particular story arc, but so far, it’s not bad. SPOILER: Turning Pepper Potts into a superhero? Genius. More like this, please. The one annoyance is…

Friday Flash Fiction: “Nothing Up His Sleeve”

Curtis Chen
May 21, 2010

I originally wrote this week’s story for NPR’s Three-Minute Fiction contest. I didn’t expect to win, and my expectations were met. Fully, and then some. FWIW, I am still working on internalizing the lessons of Henning Nelm’s Magic and Showmanship….

I’ll be honest: if I hadn’t been listening to this as an audio book, and if it hadn’t been a day when I was working as an extra, I wouldn’t have finished this book. Not even close. There is some…
