An Analysis of Modern Comics Criticism

Posted on June 25, 2010 by Joshua Lazarus

In the Spring semester of 2010, I took a class titled Literary Criticism and Applied Research. My professor, Dr. Gochenour, gave quite a bit of leeway in choosing topics for our final papers. After submitting the paper and receiving a grade, I decided to cut some material and shape it into something that would get people thinking. Hopefully, I have achieved this. Here is the latest draft of the paper.

My PREVIEWS #262 Article

Posted on June 18, 2010 by Joshua Lazarus

I started interning in the editorial department at Diamond Comics Distributors in June.

Yes, that Diamond Comics Distributors.

The PREVIEWS Editor, Marty Grosser, couldn’t be a nicer guy to work with. He’s been editing the magazine longer than I’ve been alive, so not only is he fun to work with, but he’s also a treasure trove of knowledge. With any luck, I may just learn something valuable this summer.

My first day on the job was right at deadline for July’s issue. Marty needed a feature article, and he gave the job to me as my first assignment.

My article -in PREVIEWS #262-will be in on comic book store shelves next to great comics such as Superman #700, Detective Comics #866, Amazing Spider-Man #635, Fantastic Four #580, Powers v3 #5, Secret Warriors #17, and Thunderbolts #145 on June 23rd.
