Sunday Mailbag: Or, I Never Thought I’d Get SO MANY eMails About Jon Bolerjack’s Stupid Ass

It’s true: when the last entry of 2024 was posted, Four Color Sinners was firing on all cylinders and had tremendous traction. And no one was more surprised than yours truly, still the most gregarious and, yes, humble of writers. In that time, we’ve received so many emails that I was initially overwhelmed to sift […]

“One of The Hard Lessons The Comics Industry Has Taught Me is That EVERYONE LIES SOMETIME…”- on Tony Isabella and The Continued Irrational Defense of “Not In The Room”

It seems I have to, unexpectedly, touch upon the words and thought process of outspoken comics veteran Tony Isabella– a figure covered here once before as I examined his selective approach to injustice and how he rationalized which conservative(s) to direct his ire towards. I was slightly reluctant then as I am now to offer […]

Conservative Snowflakes & Liberal Know-It-Alls Both Get It Wrong: The REAL Reason For The “Controversial” Silver Surfer Casting

This’ll be a short one friends, as I’ve got all sorts of irons in the proverbial fire with the ongoing (and growing) pushback towards Roy Thomas and John Cimino’s villainy, as well as work on an article which proves conclusively just how fraudulent and inept the collected “comics journalism” community is. In fact, this is […]

“I Have Been On The Right Side of History Since I Started Working in Comics…” – The Truly Conflicting Conundrum of Tony Isabella

Let me preface this piece by stressing that there is no degree of snark intended when I describe longtime comics pro Tony Isabella as a “conundrum”- he is the first individual written about here that I simply can’t resist having some degree of conflict over- such is my sincere and legit admiration for his burn-the-bridges […]

“You’ve Heard The Legend- Which I Think Is True…”- A Flip Thru’ the Supermarket Sleaze of 2018’s ‘Entertainment Weekly- Stan Lee: A Life of Marvel’

I’ve seen this shit. You’ve seen this shit. These compiled “special” issues of various articles from the pop culture media put out to celebrate any figure who has some topical traction and visibility at the moment- I saw a special edition magazine last week at the grocery store dedicated to Madonna, whom I remembered is […]

“…Fell Flat With The Wednesday Warriors who Supported The Industry for Decades…” Celebrating The Most Loathsome People in Comics, 2023!

Well, we’ve come to the end of another year and another year for the industry, the medium, and the hobby of comic books. And look- I know what you’re saying, I do. Why can’t I focus on all the positives of the industry? Why can’t we write about the critically acclaimed and under publicized comics […]

“Always The First Person In The Room to Point Out It Wasn’t Just You…” The Slog That is 2002’s ‘Stan Lee’s Mutants, Monsters & Marvels’

I had known about this truly intolerable documentary, in actuality a long-form interview conducted by the equally intolerable Kevin Smith, since it initially appeared in 2002 when I was considerably younger. I’d like to stress that I avoided it completely then, largely due to my immense dislike of Smith which was quite possibly formed by […]
