I&#8217;ve got just one item to review today, but it actually gave me a lot of food for thought that I&#8217;ll be focusing on more than the review itself.

		<description><![CDATA[Happy possibly-belated holidays, everyone! I hope you all were able to spend time with your loved ones this month, and that you're
looking forward to a new year as much as I am. Since I recently came into possession of a shiny new netbook, I thought that rather than
give mini-reviews of A Christmas Story and It's a Wonderful Life, I'd focus on all the fun tech stuff
(hardware, software and cloudware) that I've accumulated over the past ten days. So if you want to know more about some of the best
free software out there today (including the program I'm using to type this post) read on! <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=witwar.wordpress.com&blog=4612343&post=595&subd=witwar&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hey there, folks!  John here.  I've got some exciting news about the brand new project I've recently launched out of financial desperation and intellectual curiosity: Operation Backlog Slog. 

Beginning December 1st, I swore off purchasing any new music, movies, TV shows, video games, graphic novels until I finish my existing stockpile of each.  I haven't done a full inventory yet, but I've got at least 10 video games, 10 graphic novels (here, plus hundreds back home), two high-capacity DVD binders full of movies and TV shows and several albums to go through.  In order to keep me on track (and to offer some potentially helpful recommendations to you, dear reader), I'll be posting some details about what I've consumed here on WITWAR.  Without further ado, here are the highlights from Operation Backlog Slog: Days 1-5! <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=witwar.wordpress.com&blog=4612343&post=579&subd=witwar&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[WARNING: If you don’t like overwhelmingly positive reviews filled with glowing praise, stop reading right now.  Additionally, if you don’t like incredibly wonderful stories that are emotionally moving and chock-a-block with symbolism, Seaguy is a comic to avoid.

 

Did you ever get the feeling that everything worth doing has already been done?  That there are no more adventures to be had in this factory-farmed, mass-produced, flat-cultured world? Well, that’s how the titular hero feels every day in Grant Morrison and Cameron Stewart’s Seaguy...<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=witwar.wordpress.com&blog=4612343&post=574&subd=witwar&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The premise of Earthworm Jim creator Doug TenNapel's latest graphic novel, Power Up, is not unlike the Fantasti-defeat-Dr. Doom-ray.  It's so obvious and clever that it's a wonder no one has tackled it before: Wouldn't it be great if real life worked like video games, where you could have cool abilities like stop-time and extra lives?  (EDIT: I guess you could say that the Scott Pilgrim series does this to an extent, but O'Malley tries to make the video game elements seem second-nature to the characters.)  TenNapel takes this premise and blends in elements from a few classic wish-fulfillment stories like It's A Wonderful Life and The Monkey's Paw, then brands it distinctly with his own unique blend of humor and heart to create a compelling cautionary tale warning of the dangers of obsession and of getting everything you always wanted. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=witwar.wordpress.com&blog=4612343&post=568&subd=witwar&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yikes! has it been three weeks already?  Well, with three weeks of comics to discuss I'll have to trim down my reviews of each one.  I present to you now the Wednesday Winners Lightning Round, wherein I quickly talk about one thing I did or did not like about each comic (a format borrowed from the Warren Ellis forums) for those in-stores 5/28, 6/3 and 6/10 2009:<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=witwar.wordpress.com&blog=4612343&post=553&subd=witwar&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
