TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3558: Last year on this date, December 8th of 2010, I had finished posting my addendum on 'Comics Related Gifts For The Holidays - Part 2', as seen at blog #3298. This year, due to taking the time to take a road trip to attend to a family member who is in the hospital for a surgery, and because eBay has another listing sale December 6th - 7th - 8th, I've had to skip posting blogs for a few days, just to keep current as possible with my other endeavors. So, right now, I'm going to mention that I'm going to do this a little differently than I did last year... Or the years before. I've already started a photo album at my Facebook 'Fan' Page, 'Michael D Hamersky On Comics', where I've been posting a photo and links to comics / graphic novels / TPBs / books on comics that I have reveiwed for 2011. Yes, it is not complete, but at least there you can visually see the items before clicking the links to read the reviews. That link is shown here, which I suggest you click. Due to time constraints, I'm not going to repeat myself here, other than to point out just one of the items here, because of a new edition that just came out this month. I'm emphasizing the revised first edition of the book that I was one of fourteen essayists in, that was published in December of 2010, that not everyone was able to a copy of in time for last year's Gift Giving Season. That would be the 'Gotham City 14 Miles' book, which just came out with a $7.00 lower cover price, at $15.99 + shipping where applicable. Here is the link to my review blog part 2 when I first reviewed it. Also, for those of you in the Los Angeles Metro Area, Saturday December 10th... I personally am going to be at the upcoming Nuke The Fridge Con in the City of Industry this upcoming Saturday to sell a few signed copies. My signature only, as the other essaysists are somewhat scattered throughout the world. For fans of the 1966 Batman TV Show, starring Adam West & Burt Ward, this is a 'Must Read', in my opinion. Period. And yes, I'm a little prejudiced in favor of it, but... Take a look at the names of the other essayists involved with the book, and you will see what a quality project it was to produce. As for the link I provided above, and repeated here, for other items for possible purchase for gift giving... First let me tell you, that I don't take the time to review blog anything that doesn't at least 'grade' a Very Fine (VF) 8.0 in my opinion. I'm given a LOT of items to possibly review blog, and each of these blogs take 1 - 2+ hours to write / scan photos / & post. I'm not going to spend my time to write negative reviews, when that is not always constructive for the creators, nor is it a meaningful use of my time. So take a look at the link to the photo album, place your cursor on the individual photos, each has an 'alt' message, as to the title of the item, and a little bit on the item, and then left click the photo to read more of it, and there is a link to corresponding blog for the item, that shows the full review. The genres covered there are wide ranging, as usual. From 'funnybooks' to 'underground comix', as my own personal tastes are varied. I also include items that while not my own personal favorite genre, I find are so well produced that they are darn good in their genre. I'll be adding more review blogs in the days to follow, as time permits, what with the family member still in the hospital, a book signing at a comic con to attend this Saturday, and other obligations to take care of between now and Christmas Day, as well as the other Holidays. Thank you for reading this blog post, and I hope that some of my suggestions / recommendations already posted from this year 2011 will help you find that special something for a family member / friend that is hard to shop for, but loves reading sequential art format publications / books! Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to All! ~Michael D Hamersky On Comics!
