Write-Up in Atomic Junk Shop

[Le Messor]

So, when CBR imploded not long ago, a splinter group formed; rebels, devoted to sharing their experiences of geek culture with the world, in defiance of the new Empire that took over CBR.

They invited me to come along; so I did.

Eventually, through a series of events, that led to me being invited to start writing for the site.

My first article went up this morning, and it's about a comic that many of us on this site may enjoy:

I've always liked Nemesis, Box (all of them), Puck, Feedback even. Charcters who just are who they are and stand out without comparisons to other characters (like Canada's Captain America or a furry Hulk or....)

[Le Messor]

Yes, I love that originality you get with some of them.

And I was thinking when I wrote it that a few of them were, well, Canada's Captain America or a furry Hulk or...

Congratulations on the first article! Good luck and hope to read more in the future

[Le Messor]

Thanks, Rob!

Excellent article.

[Le Messor]

Thanks.

I will give your article a read right now...

But I can't stand what CBR has become. Just want to lay that out there.

Cool write up - just finished. I liked the original Nemesis, but then when she came back - it was never explained how or why (usually turning to ash is a final death, even in comics!)

[Le Messor]

But I can't stand what CBR has become.

That's why the Atomic Junkshop exists, frankly.

Cool write up - just finished.

Thanks; and I agree about Nemesis being unexplained; part of why 'Jane' is considered a second Nemesis and Amelia a third.

Hey all,

I've just done another Alpha-related article, this time about Captain Marvel and the perils of writing characters sans research:
