About Dan Traeger

I write. I've been writing online since the early days of Usenet. I love all things pop culture related: Music, Movies, Comics, Books, Politics... if you can label it I probably have an opinion about it, and I love to argue. In fact, if you give me a good enough argument, you might even change my mind. All informed opinions are welcome here.

Hey Kids! Comics! #1 is a showcase of comics talent on fire. Chaykin’s art and story haven’t been this synergistic since Avengers 1959.
Captain Marvel

I love Captain Marvel. Carol Danvers is one of the best characters to come out of The House of Ideas. I think all of you could come to see how cool Carol Danvers is as a superhero too. Marvel just needs to fix some things first.
Black Badge #1
September 5, 2018
Black Badge #1, out now from Boom! Studios, is based on the idea that kids get lost and scared. Children must be redirected to their parents and are therefore harmless. But, what if those kids are a black ops team of Boy Scouts that have earned every merit badge… except for the black badge?

Mage: The Hero Denied #11 is great, the story is always beyond phenomenal. If you haven’t been following Mage, it is well worth your time and money.
