I'm nearly 42, so kids' adventure comics don't really appeal to me much, because I'm 1. not a kid and 2. don't get much out of adolescent power fantasies not being an adolescent, so much, anymore. But, you know, I check out the superheroes every once in a while and I stay informed on the latest outrage sweeping the biz. Crossover this, gotta-buy-that-to-understand-the-other, etc. Everybody's got an issue to bellyache about. It's human nature.
Anybody read Batman: Gotham Knights #67? Dig the end?
Why isn't the "Internet cracking in half" about Alfred (Alfred!) murdering someone to protect Batman's secret identity?
This is Alfred, everyone. Loyal manservant to a beloved pop culture icon. It's not an episode of The Shield, or something. Alfred killed somebody.
Dang.

Gordon Dymowski of "Blog THIS, pal!" on the company: "Finally, I am definitely going to buy more AiT/Planet Lar comics, especially after hearing the soundtrack to Astronauts in Trouble. I mean, George W. singing Queen? A Louis Prima tune that I never knew the title of (only knowing the drum beat) until now? It's a pretty heady mixture of tunes and miscellaneous sound bits (the tech support bit at the end - killer), but at least I can skip the non-music tracks if I choose. (I also want to thank him for The Making of Astronauts in Trouble - it's like having a "special features" section of my favorite comic. Heck, I may even get inspired to work on my own graphic novel - it lays it all out, and is an entertaining read in its own right."
...and speaking of Astronauts in Trouble, my good pal Ross Richie takes time out to sing "Kum-Bi-Ya" to me: "So in the spirit of that, here's a link to the AiT/Planet Lar website, run by the esteemed Larry Young, a sharp, smart, inspiring entrepreneur turning the world of comics on its ear. Literally, without Larry responding in an incredibly positive way to the idea of putting a '!' at the end of BOOM! I would've talked myself out of it."
What's that gotta do with Astronauts in Trouble? Well, ol' Ross and his business partner Andy Cosby (presently tearin' it up with G.I. Spy) were the first comics pros I didn't already know to tell me, way back when, that Astronauts in Trouble was awesome. Coming from the producers of the Mage film, I gotta tell you, that was an all right thing to hear. So, Ross, bubala, cigars and Scotch it is...
...when I wipe this manly tear from my eye and stop singing "Kum-Bi-Ya" with you.

Was talking to Josh yesterday about the different hats I wear, and he suggested I make these, for message board clarity:
