To those of you not using Google Chrome: this is what the site is supposed to look like.

Carry on.

A lot of you know me as John McGuigan. Probably because that’s my name. If my secret machinations have been successful, some of you know me as John “Hawkeye” McGuigan. Nice. But that’s not relevant. My name on here, and other things I write from here on in, is Jack McGuigan.

John McGuigan is some dude you went to high school with. John McGuigan takes pictures of his trip to Oregon. John McGuigan is a trumpet player with a rat tail. John McGuigan runs Krispy Kreme Austrailia. John McGuigan is a bunch of boring guys with a last name you can’t pronounce.

Jack McGuigan is a cool writer guy. His last name says “ethnic” but his first name says “party!”. If you meet him at a bar, he’ll tell you a story about something pretty crazy that happened to him at a rock concert. With funny voices and hand motions and everything. He’s also probably pretty good at writing comic books. Which brings us to the actual reason why we’re here.

In the minimal research I’ve done on my quest to become a paid writer of comic books, I’ve found that every single comic writer I’ve heard of has a blog of some kind.  Peter David, Jeff Parker, Paul Cornell, Fred Van Lente (just to name a few at random)…everybody’s got one of these stupid things. Just a place to promote your wares besides Twitter, I guess. Seems like the cromulent thing to do.

So, the comics I work on will be over there on the left where it says “Comics”. Feel free to read and tell me what you think of anything. It is your constructive criticism that helps me to grow, and it is your unconstructive criticism that helps me to cry.

As for this part…I don’t know, what do people do with blogs? Complain? Gossip? I hear Jeremy Piven’s actually balder then he looks. Also, he and Lady Gaga are getting MARRIED. Oh snap!
