I’m cribbing this piece from Bleeding Cool, as this is the first I’m hearing of it. But how could I not, right? “The Dominator is a powerful hero who repeatedly fights and beats the furious and monstrous Megazoid. That’s the story seven year old Dominic Osorio told himself as he struggled to remain perfectly still, [...]
My friend Hallie reads this blog every day. She’s reading right now, I bet. But ever since my first post, she’s been complaining that she doesn’t care about comics and just wants to hear about my condition. So here you go. (The other 3 people reading this blog are okay with the comic talk, so [...]
It’s been almost a year since I connected with blogger Stefan Blitz as a contributor to his magazine-style blog Forces of Geek. As part of his verbal militia (comprising dozens of writers from various walks of life and breeds of geek), my angle of expertise has been the parent who loves comics etc trying to [...]
I begin the next (and hopefully final) phase of my cancer treatment this week…or prepping for it, at least. During the second week of September, I’ll be getting a radiation pill that will supposedly work it’s way through my body and nuke any remaining cancer cells left over after the thyroidectomy. A week or so [...]
Surprisingly, I did not wake up the day after taking the radiation pill feeling reinvigorated by the power of 10,000 suns coursing through my veins. Instead, I’ve spent the weekend feeling more like Frank and Freddy from Return of the Living Dead (at the 3:40 mark of this clip): But instead of brains, all I [...]
This is going to be a big week in my treatment. It begins tomorrow, when I go to the Montefiore Department of Nuclear Medicine (!!) to receive a low-dose iodine pill. I’ve already been off my thyroid meds and on a low-iodine diet for several weeks in preparation for this, avoiding bread, salt, dairy, eggs, [...]
I started No Cure For Comics as a distraction. The blog was my outlet during the summer of 2009, when I sat in isolated recovery from surgery and radiation therapy for thryoid cancer that had been diagnosed earlier that year. I got better, I suppose, though I’m not cured. I’ll be taking medication for the rest of my life, [...]
As you may have figured out by now, I’m a mainstream comics type of guy. I like superheroes, zombies, explosions, and snark. I had no intention of seeking out “cancer comics” or other serious-minded sequential memoirs when I started this blog. But my buddy Jay gave me an advance reader copy of a new book [...]
Once again, Bleeding Cool Rich Johnston has tuned me in to comic-world buzz that’s right up my alley, calling attention to a recent post on the official website of Barry Windsor-Smith, where the legendary comic creator puts some fanboy perspective on the need for healthcare reform in the United States. Back in the 1970′s, Windsor-Smith had [...]
