Why Comic Pants? First of all, why not? Secondly, we needed a memorable name for the site. Hey, it's not like you're going to forget it.
We don't generally run press releases, but we're happy to see them. If you'd like to send review copies (via PDF, weblink or print), or if you have other questions about the site, this link will send an email to D3 (Dave Martindale)and Nick. If you'd like to reach one of our reviewers individually, you'll find their email addresses in with their bios below. For site admin and/or advertising questions, send email here.
Current Team Members
Nick Budd
Nick Budd has no life but really happens to love comics, especially Punisher books for some strange reason that not even he knows. If you have any questions about the 80's Transformers comic, he's the one to ask since that's what got him into comics. He lives in Austin, TX and when not at work at a local comic shop, can occasionally be found in random coffee houses, sucking down espressos, reading or working on whatever project is occupying his mind at the time.
He is a reviewer for Comic Pants and can be reached at punisherpants@gmail.com
David Martindale aka D3
David Martindale has been a comic geek since the second grade, and his earliest comic influences were Claremont's X-Men and Hama's GI Joe. He took a few years off from comics in the late 90's while in college. D3 is now a bonafide register monkey at his local comic shop. He also likes to pretend that he's a photographer to get cute girls to pose half naked for him at EmptyAllegory.com.
D3 is the site administrator for Comic Pants; his responsibilities generally include reviewing, web maintenance, managing advertising space, and podcast production. D3 can be reached at comicpants@gmail.com.
Past Team Members
Dan Grendell
Dan Grendell is a former reviewer for the Comic Pants team. He is a lover of graphic entertainment of all kinds, even "them crazy Japernees comix whut start at the back." All he asks is that the comic in question be good at what it is trying to do. The first comic he can remember reading is Alan Moore's Swamp Thing story "Anatomy Lesson" at the tender age of ten, and it warped his fragile little mind beyond all recovery.
Dan lives in Austin, TX and can be contacted by e-mail at portugueseleper@hotmail.com. (If you got the Scurvy Dogs reference, pat yourself on your back with your hook hand.)
Randy Lander
Randy Lander is a founding member and former reviewer for the Comic Pants team. He has been reviewing comics for about 10 years, having started on Usenet and moved on to a variety of sites, including Comic Book Resources, Psycomic, Newsarama and The Fourth Rail. He started reading comics in the '80s with G.I. Joe and X-Men and has been on an ever-expanding comic book kick since then. Randy lives in Austin, TX with his wife, son and daughter and is the owner of Rogues Gallery Comics & Games in Round Rock, Texas.
Randy was the grumpy old man of Comic Pants when he was a regular contributor, and he still occupies that position... in our hearts. He blogs at Inside Joke Theatre and can be reached at pants.randy@gmail.com.
