Dave <\/a>has been posting fantastic comic book reviews. He\u2019s covered everything from Star Trek to Buffy to The New Avengers and then some.<\/p>\n

The rating system is separated into four categories: Writing, Art, New Reader, and Non-Comics Reader, which makes it easy to figure out which comics would be good for someone who is just getting into reading comics (like myself).<\/p>\n

So if you read comics or have thought about giving it a shot, head on over <\/a>andcheck it out. Dave is blogging for the Dumb Friends League<\/a> and can be sponsored here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Spiffy! Welcome any groggy Blogathon visitors. If there’s anything else in the comic world you want me to natter about, let me know. Note that Steve<\/a> is also doing comic book and related media reviews, if it’s a subject you’re interested in.<\/p>\n

Thanks for the shout-out, Colleen!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
