Dear DC:

Superboyman-Prime was a humdinger of a bad idea. Hoo boy, was it ever a stinker. I hate to lay it out to you like that, but there it is. Sometimes, the band-aid has got to come right off.

A Superman counterpart who is selfish, whiny, evil, and self-motivated? Really, DC? What the Didio were you thinking?

The Say it Backwards Charity Auction is ON!

YourMomsBasement is proud to present RescuedByNerds!

What exactly is RescuedByNerds? Well, it's a new sister-site to YMB that focuses on long-form content. From now on, RBN will be your source for the interviews, reviews and columns you've come to love with a regular rotating cast of writers. Meanwhile, YMB has moved to a group-blog format that will continue its personality-driven commentary, parodies, and satire.

At last weekend's Toronto ComiCON, YMB once again asked creators: "if you could ask a fanboy anything, what would it be?" We then got a bunch of fanboys together to give their responses...

Here are some other webcomics YMB enjoys...

I am very excited about the new direction for YMB. I know I have not been "up-to-date" with my column, but I am sure with this new blogged format, I will be able to bring you all, my loyal readers, more of me, which is what you want.

According to the most recent Mighty Marvel Mailer, "Ultimates #4 has been pushed back to 6/11 and #5 to 8/6."

But hey, fanboys and fangirls. It's all good. What's a couple more months? Isn't the quality of Joe Mad's art more important than his being on time? Won't it be worth the wait?

...well, you're entitled to your opinion.

I WOULD BUY YOUR BOOK IF...

An occasional series of marketing suggestions to the creators of today's comics.

We here at Your Mom's Basement are happy to announce that we are about to embark on a new era. Starting today.

Regular readers might have noticed that our content has dropped off of
late. With the exception of Ed's weekly comics, there have been very
few articles, and that's something that we aim to address.

Our strength has always been our people. We had a thriving message
board before we even started putting up site content and the people
that produce for us are smart and talented. So we're going to depend
on those people to help move us forward.

Starting today, we will be shifting our focus to more frequent,
slightly shorter articles. We will still have interviews and reviews
and opinion pieces. We will still cover comics and books and games and
movies and television and more. We will still bring the funny. We're
just going to be doing that in a slightly different way. You're likely
to see more personal commentary. And the tone of the posts should
reflect more the writers behind them.

I won't introduce everyone here. They will do that themselves in the
coming weeks. I hope that you'll stick around to see what we all have
to say. We're all excited about it. I hope that you will be too.

There are other announcements that will be made in the future, other things that we're looking forward to sharing with you. We're committed to making sure that there's enough content to keep you coming back.

On behalf of the rest of the staff here at Your Mom's Basement, welcome back.
