July was a strange dichotomy, characterized by nearly equal parts wonderful and tragic. In a somewhat similar way, our posts alternated between two opposites: almost everything was either short and fluffy or lengthy and profound. We ended up covering a lot of ground this way, producing a surprisingly diverse array of material.
See for yourself what July was like:
- A recap of my contributions to videogame humor website GameCola.net in June
- A dialogue about the rising production costs of comics
- A celebration of American Independence Day
- A recap of my insane one-day Mega Man marathon, and a more philosophical follow-up reflection on the whole experience
- Alex's weekly comics news / spotlight / rant / nonsensical ramblings feature, Waiting for Wednesday, volume 2, issues twenty-seven, twenty-eight, twenty-nine, and thirty
- A story about unloved music CDs
- A tale of the search for Batman, issue 608
- A reaction to an oversensationalized career move by basketball player LeBron James
- Bonus videos to compliment my YouTube run of Mega Man 5
- A post that barely qualifies as a post
- A brief reflection on the lives of comics creator Harvey Pekar and New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, and a follow-up on the work of Harvey Pekar
- A countdown to Comic-Con, more anticipation for Comic-Con, excitement about Comic-Con, and a retrospective of Comic-Con
- A few words about marathoning movies and video games
- A reaction to photos showing off the Thor and Green Lantern movies
- An introduction to the Rocky movie saga, six movies about life, love, and boxing
- A discussion about having to abandon one's favorite fandoms
- A discussion about balancing a social life with alone time
- The story of how I almost didn't become a gamer
- A news story about Darth Vader robbing a bank
- My view of the difference between Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine as it pertains to a slew of bad news in my own life
