Sense of Right Alliance Assemble for Free Comic Book Day 2012!!

Hey it’s me, Chadd Derkins, back for a special Free Comic Book Day edition of the blog!  Last year, I walked you through my exciting Free Comic Book Day adventures and a wonderful time was had by all.  This year’s FCBD was way less eventful, but a lot more free books were snagged.  So, for the first time ever, the entire Sense of Right Alliance – Chadd Derkins, Grath Madden, and Jenny Incompetence – have assembled to tell you, faithful reader, about all the stupid garbage we spent an otherwise beautiful Saturday shoveling greedily into our backpacks.

My Year in Movies, 2011

In 2010, I watched 152 movies, and for no real reason I decided I wanted to beat that record in 2011.  I totally did, but guess what my final count was?  198.  198!!  Arghh, how frustrating is that number??  I planned to get it up to 200 in the last couple of days before New Year’s Eve, but I got busy with other things and wasn’t able to watch any movies!  But, whatever, 198 is still a hell of a lot of movies, right?  Right!  Here’s what they were:

What Free Comic Book Day Cost Me

This past Saturday was Free Comic Book Day, which for my friends and me meant a whirlwind tour around New York City, lots of fun, lots of walking, and ironically, lots of money spent.  Time for an inventory!

Stuff For Your Google Reader

Hey everybody, I apologize for the lack of posts in the past few weeks.  I have a few things planned though, so the Sense of Right Alliance should be back with a vengeance very soon.  In the meantime, go read some other shit!  Here are a few suggestions:

Carl Barks, Don Rosa, and… Chadd Derkins???

In case any of you have ever questioned how far my appreciation of the Walt Disney corporation goes back, check out what I found buried in a closet at my parents’ house:

Comics You Should Be Reading in 2011

Since I got back into comics, a few people have asked me for suggestions on what they should be checking out.  Obviously, I usually try to tailor my answer to that person’s specific tastes, but now I will present a list of books I am excited about as we enter a new year, and that I think other people (especially other people like me, who are new at this comics thing) might enjoy.  Bear in mind that I’m no expert, and this is far from a definitive list.  For example, you will see that there are zero Marvel books on the list, because I don’t personally give much of a shit about Marvel and don’t read any of it.  This is the stuff I am jazzed for, and that I think you might be too. 

No Case Too Big, No Case Too Small

Holy shit, I just read issue #2 of Ian Brill’s Chip ‘n’ Dale Rescue Rangers comic, and I am grinning like an idiot right now.

Of Mice and Monkeys

It is a great time to be a Wii owner!  While the unwashed masses are slogging their way through the latest repackaging of their precious war franchise, we video game fans are getting some amazing games.  I am currently working my way through two of them.

Necro ComicCon Exmortis

I attended the New York Comic Con yesterday, and now I’m so tired I feel like the walking dead.  Hopefully that’s enough to justify (a) the ridiculous pun in this post’s title, and (b) a break from the Halloween-themed posts, which you might have noticed I haven’t been keeping up with as much as I planned to anyway.

It’s a Duck Blur

Remember when I theorized that the writer of Darkwing Duck was establishing the beginnings of a Disney Comic Universe?  Well, holy crap, all signs point to me being totally right!  Darkwing Duck #4 gave me such a raging Disney fanboner that I had to fanmasturbate into about ten fansocks just to make it go away.  Ew.
