Personal web log of Donovan Burns Gentleman Haruspex. Resident of Salt Lake, Utah (and sometimes Las Vegas). Concerns mostly humor, science, photography, and art matters. My original work can be found here: latest & earliest.

beatonna: dylanmeconis: I just posted something I’ve been wanting to write for a long time: an essay on how NOT to write comics criticism. It’s my personal hit-list of the top ten intellectual misconceptions, dumb shortcuts, and silly cliches that I encounter in otherwise intelligent book reviews, articles, and interviews. You can read it over at my blog! Dylan will save us all! I would sell my ass to satan if it meant that journalists or anybody never used the phrase ‘comic books aren’t just for kids anymore’ ever again.
