My favorite blog on the planet this minute is Mightygodking, by Christopher Bird, who is a Canadian law student and a big-ass nerd. He’s got obsessions ranging from “So You Think You Can Dance?” to Photoshop: witness his modified versions of Archie comics and old fantasy novels. But he reached a new level last month, when he devoted every day of the month of April to another post on “Why I Should Write ‘Doctor Strange.'” I’ve pretty much stopped buying superhero comics, and I never much cared for the Sorcerer Supreme, but Bird’s ideas (a world missing the color blue, Odysseus wandering from one alternate Earth to another) are cool enough that if somebody at Marvel turned him loose, you’d find me in a comic-book store one Wednesday a month to get the new issue. To read the whole month, start here (scroll down to the bottom and work your way up), and continue here.
