Doesn’t seem that long ago when I jotted down the last YESLOG. If I count backwards on my fingers from May 2023 to October 2021, whereas the previous studio album, 2021’s The Quest was released, it’s only been a derisive year and a half between the two studio releases – barely a blip in the […]

Read More YES LOG 2023: I WANNA TO BE IN ZERO CHATGPT COVERED IN ICE CREAM AT INTERNATIONAL DARK AI SKY PARK

It’s getting so close to the finish line, that I can nearly smell all that computerized color mando/baxter printed paper from a mile away! AT LONG LAST – this is the finale of my weekly blogs for the foreseeable future, but I’ll probably be back in a couple of Sundays for a new entry in […]

Read More CARY COATNEY’S FREE COMIC BOOK DAY CLUSTERF@%K 2023 PART 5: PUBLISHERS FROM TITAN TO VIZ – THE CONCLUSION

It’s the penultimate episode to our five episode magnum opus that’s MARVELOUSLY jam-packed with super heroic diversity and pockets of family fun, and even some wild mindblowing shit for adults thrown in for good measure. A little of something for all ages and none of it, I’m proud to say is written in a mini-room […]

Read More CARY COATNEY’S FREE COMIC BOOK DAY CLUSTERF@%K PART 4: PUBLISHERS FROM MARVEL TO TEN SPEED PRESS

The third week’s the charm for this year’s procession of Free Comic Book Day offerings as we approach the middle of the road with nine more titles covering the gamut from Scholastic’s graphix isolated imprint to Marvel’s preschool offering of Spidey & His Amazing Friends. I’m more in a relaxed mode this week, taking a […]

Get set for round two of my expansive coverage of all the 45 offerings for this year’s FCBD battle brigade. The next nine titles were a little more difficult to get through since some were packed with more pages and jammed with reprint material that usually takes longer to read mainly because comic book writers […]

Read More CARY COATNEY’S FREE COMIC BOOK DAY CLUSTER@*K PART 2: PUBLISHERS FROM DC COMICS TO GEMSTONE PUBLISHING

Time for a different approach in tackling the super barrage of this year’s Free Comic Book Day offerings. I’ll have to severely limit my comments and attention to detail due to the fact that I’m a heavy participant in the Writer’s Strike that threatens to seriously hampen the local Los Angeles film and tv community, […]

O Freerabjous Comic Book Day Callay! The funnest time of the year for me, much better than Christmas, much better than Easter, and certainly more celebratory than my own birthday – it’s once again Free Comic Book Day and even though the list has quite shortened from last year’s offerings, there’s still stay plenty of […]

Read More APRIL 2023: A PRELUDE TO FREE COMIC BOOK DAY AND OTHER ASSORTED ITEMIZED FOR YOUR OWN PROTECTION ITEMS

This month I’m going to be focused on issues involving collecting comics and a few of the topics pertaining to the comic book retailing industry in general that seem to be pissing me off of late. And you know me, when it comes to the subject of reading and collecting comics, it’s worse than being […]

Read More YOUR PPGURU ITEMIZED FOR YOUR OWN PROTECTION GUIDE TO MARCH 2023

It’s a rather short month and there’s plenty of great stuff to get into and only a week for me to cram it all in like a worm down your throat as you were a newly hatched spring bird. (although it’s highly unlikely anytime soon with all this torrential rain happening around all of California). […]
