ERIC’S “THINGS THAT BEGIN WITH ‘M'” COMICS NOW! NEWSLETTER
VOL. 10 #11 – November 2008
INTRODUCTION
————
It’s another month of mini-series madness and I’ve just taken my meds, so I’m
locked on words that begin with “m” like “meow,” “monsters,” “mini-series,”
and “mythbusters.” What a damn good show that is. Adam Savage is my hero.
Wait. Comics. We’re talking about comics…

ERIC’S “TAKE THE DARK KNIGHT TO THE IMAX!” COMICS NOW! NEWSLETTER
VOL. 10 #10 – October 2008
INTRODUCTION
————————
Now that I live in a larger city instead of the tiny, little, backwater town
in the Appalachian Mountains that I used to, I now have access to an IMAX
theater. So it was that at 8:00am Sunday a few weeks ago, I decided to
check out the new Batman movie in all of its IMAX glory (certain action
sequences and interstitials were filmed in IMAX’s super-large 70mm film
format goodness.
The Dark Knight is absolutely spectacular. In fact, the supporting cast is
so excellent that you might not notice that there isn’t a whole lot of
Batman time in the film. In addition, Heath Ledger is freaking spectacular

villain to date).
