How much is your blog worth?


My blog is worth $564.54.
How much is your blog worth?



OoOooO. This blog is less than a week old, with only EIGHT posts (including this one) and it's already worth $565.54? This seems rigged somewhat. I need to bring more readers into this geeky blog.

If you haven't already heard about this site or never seen it before in your life, I can't recommend it enough. Simplicity at its finest.

Gimme some sugar, baby!

Took some time creating the banner above...well, not creating, but editing and stuff with Paint. It's very shoddy work, I know...but hey, cut me some slack. It's my first effort. :p I'm still considered a blogging newbie. So unpro! ^_^

D-Argh fanboy banners!

Just thought I'd share some awesome banners from D-Argh!, the Deakin Anime Roleplaying Games and Hobbies club which I've been a member of since 2003.

For the fanboy in all of us! :)










I so need to figure out how to make a banner to "spruice" up my "It's Thursday" title!

Vote for your favourite script @ 28 Geeks Later!

Go vote on your favourite script from 28 Geeks Later! We want to know which one's your favourite so that we can turn those favourites into fully-fledged comic strips!

And tell 'em Stanley Ipkiss sent ya! Smokin'!

Edits!

What I really need to do is to customise this blog so that it looks EXACTLY like a page straight out from a comic book. But until my editing/photoshop skills become up to scratch...

In the meantime, I've tried to keep the blog as colourful as possible to reflect my love for the four-colour medium of comics.

Arthur Suydam on Crisis on Infinite Earths

Anyone who knows my love for comics also knows how big of a fan I am for Marvel Zombies, especially Arthur Suydam's gorgeous colours.

Wizard magazine recently commissioned Suydam to recreate the artwork for one of DC Comics' most famous covers, Crisis on Infinite Earths, in Wizard #189. Check it out here!



Absolutely marvellous.

Previous comic-related posts

Just thought I should put my previous comic-related posts from His and Hers here for easy access. These posts are mostly comic-related reviews, accolades and discussions...I'm not adding links to every single time the word "comic" appears...there'd just be too many and I might as well just provide the link to the entire His and Hers blog!

I might have missed a few...hey, it's not easy trawling through 1.5 years' worth of blog entries!


The following posts aren't really comics-related, but they ARE about Munchkin, which sort of falls in the geek-iverse kingdom. If I ever start up a new blog about games and stuff, I'll move these over there!

Oh and before I forget, might as well give a cheap plug to the blog Theo and I set up: 28 Geeks Later. If you enjoy comics and pop culture or just want to read something funny, I can't endorse that site enough, even though it's fairly quiet there most of the time. Do check it out and let us know what you think, give us suggestions etc!

It's alive! ALIVE!

Oh yeah. I was inspired to create this after reading a blog link I found on Theo's blog: Living Between Wednesdays.

As everyone knows (or SHOULD know by now), I'm the original Comic Book Geek Freak...among my friends anyway. I have an unhealthy obsession with comics...it's my number one hobby! So I thought, instead of cramming all the comic-related madness I post up in the blog Aeris and I share, I'd simply start a NEW blog to discuss and share with everyone my love for this four-colour medium.

Allow me to express my inner geek here, no holds barred!

Ps: If you're wondering why this blog is titled as it is...well, Thursdays are the days comics get released in Australia...and Singapore!
