Randy Lander is a real name?

Hahahaha! Yes.

This news is probably only of interest to RACMU/RACMX refugees.

It's been a long time coming - I noticed recently he was eschewing the weekly New Release grind to just bloviate about TPBs and recentish non-Big Two stuff. His stuff was a little too reviewerish for my tastes, but whatever. Enjoy freedom, RL!

I recently talked to him after he reviewed Zatanna #1 because he didn't think that it took place before Seven Soldier #0 despite the rich girl with the toy box full of weapons and such being in Z's support group and talking about how she had a surprise gig coming up out west at the end of the issue. Now that Bulleteer #2 is out and confirms that SS#0 is after Z#1, I was going to write him a "nyah nyah" message but ten he ups and retires. Spoilsport.

What do you mean by this?

Randy's original Usenet reviews basically followed the "I will blurb what happened in this issue and then say whether I liked it or not" pattern somewhat slavishly and that feeling kind of translated over into his column; he didn't really go for much analysis or intertextual linking.

Ba-zingo!

I like my straight-up "this is what happened, and here are my thumbs" reviews to be footloose & carefree w/ the florid verbiage, esp. in a "non-professional" setting (like a self-run website).

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 19:12 (twenty years ago)

That's what I thought.

does my rolling Batmannerisms whatchamacallit meet w/ yr approval?

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 19:24 (twenty years ago)

I will let you know as soon as my manservant finishes peeling my grapes.

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 19:25 (twenty years ago)

SO THAT'S where Tep's been.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 19:30 (twenty years ago)

BWAH HAH HAH
