So can it really be called dereliction?
Yeah, I think it can, since not only was writing comic reviews the prime impetus for starting up with blogging, it's something I'd really like to do. I've started a couple, but between work and TV (less of a concern than it used to be) and the crystal meth-like addiction that is City Of Heroes, I've yet to finish more than the one review, and I assure you, I have read a comic or two since Identity Crisis # 1! So I finally have one ready to go, and I'll finish the other before moving on to the new stuff. I even went so far as to note the credits for the several books I read from last week's new crop, including a quick take and recommendation, so I may post that as well, but I don't want to get too behind, given my already dubious "work" ethic.
I'm also going to try to standardize them a little, by giving you the credits up front, as well as giving any necessary background information and then a summary of the events of the book, the completeness of which will be dependent on how good I think the book is. After all, there's no good in not coming clean about a book I'm not going to recommend, and it's just mean to reveal all about a book I'd actually encourage y'all to buy. I will give you a go/no-go/maybe bottom-line recommendation on the books as well, right at the end of the review, so you don't hit it up front, but if you must cut to the chase, you know where it is. Shamelessly ripping it off from some other comic review site (the name of which I forget), I'll give it to you in the unambiguous terms of Buy It, Leave It, or Borrow It. Okay the latter IS kinda ambiguous, but hey, you gotta have buddies who have slightly different comic tastes than you, right? I'm not the only Quiet Loner here in my one-room shack in Montana, right? 
Anyway, onward and upward, or, in perhaps better comic book style...
Excelsior!
BTW: Any and all sluggestions on a good HTML editor would be appreciated. I'm no HTML wiz, nor do I care to be. I just want the same ease of formatting my text that I get with Word, in addition to being able to add hyperlinks and e-mail links, but without all the felgercarb that Word (or even Mozilla's Composer) adds, like colors and author information and such. Or is that unavoidable unless one "handcodes"?
