Anonymous asked: I'm looking to get my friend who is big into adventure comics (Tin Tin - that sort of thing) a gift. I don't know what he has already - which is the hard part of trying to choose something - so I'm reaching out to see if you had any recommendations for comic book anthologies in that vein that are relatively unknown. From following you on Tumblr - you seemed like a trustworthy...
September is National Sketch Writing Month: It's... →
National Sketch Writing Month starts Friday. You should do this.
If you never write but wish you did, do this. If you want to write more, do this. If you are just frustrated with your creative output in general, do this.
I have done this 3 years in a row and I love it.
Also really try to write every day. Obviously writing anything is great. But there is something exciting about writing every...

This is the final post of videos that Will and I made for Cagematch back in 2007.
This is the final video we made, entitled The Brothers Hines Show: Morals.
These are a few of the endings from the old Friday Night sitcom Will and I used to star on.
Talking Comics with Kevin Hines: The Silly Hulk →
talkingcomics:
This is just a list of some of the silly things that occur in the first six issues of the Hulk. Hulk comics are the only place I ever saw the word “milksop”. General Ross often referred to Banner this way. Banner keeps his secret reports taped to the bottom of clear beakers The Hulk…
Talking Comics with Kevin Hines: The Ever-Changing... →
Another post about comics on my comics tumblr. This one is about the first 6 issues of the Hulk complete with images. Fun for the 5 or 6 of you that follow me that’d be into that sort of thing.
talkingcomics:
The first comics I remember reading were these digests Will owned of the original Marvel comics. The first 18 Spider-Man issues, the first 12 Fantastic Four, and the first 6 issues...
Ways I Felt Involved at UCB Theatre
improvnonsense:
My last post about “feeling involved” and now I’m trying to remember what things happened that made me feel involved. I tried to include the ways in which I met people who later helped me get performance/job opportunities.
November 1999- Summer 2000:
Met friends in a Kevin Mullaney 101 (as detailed in this post) and we started practicing together. We hired Seth Morris and then...
Will Hines: Brothers Hines in Cagematch: Three... →
This is true. Will, Brian and I are all performing together for the first time ever. I have no idea if this will ever happen again. So check it out this Thursday at Cagematch.
It looks like the show is already sold out! But I assume the stand by line will allow you to take the seats of the no-shows.

Kevin Hines and I are doing Cagematch Thursday night 11pm. Joining us is our...
Talking Comics with Kevin Hines: Dark Knight Rises... →
another backlogged post about comic book movies.
talkingcomics:
Wow. I really liked Dark Knight Rises. I’m not going to review it, but I did want to briefly talk about how I realized that the Nolan Batman is very dissimilar to the comics Batman (and cartoons and whatever else) but that I’ve gotten used to it. I’ve long hated that Batman wears these super…
Talking Comics with Kevin Hines: Amazing... →
I quietly started a new tumblr where I can blather about comics.
This is a belated review of The Amazing Spider-Man and a re-ranking of my favorite super-hero movies. Possibly of interest to my younger brother Brian only.
talkingcomics:
This is a much belated reaction to The Amazing Spider-Man.
short review: It felt like a very good coming of age story, with a super-hero fighting a...
Mullaney: Surprise Yourself →
mullaney:
Every once in a while when you are improvising, you should do something on stage that surprises you. Start telling a story in the middle of a scene without knowing why. Just start speaking. Make it about something that hasn’t come up yet. The first few sentences should feel like a non-sequitur….
Love this post.
My favorite moments in improv are where I surprise myself. Some...
some marvel comics characters that i think are...
Cypher was also one of Joss Whedon’s favorite characters. Therefore I am as talented as Joss Whedon.
My 2nd Favorite New Mutant was Cannonball. He could fly explosively fast, and was indestructible when flying. But he struggled with turns and was terrible at landing. I liked the very flawed New Mutants best.
I never understood the appeal of Moon Knight or Mockingbird.
