Adam WarRock’s ComicsAlliance Rap-Up: February 12 – March 3
Hey, it's Adam WarRock! Former co-host/producer of War Rocket Ajax! Comic Book Rapper dude! All up in yo grill. Rappers say that, right?
So I'm a week late with this Rap-Up, and I apologize for that. I was on tour. I was in places like Utah and Montana, where they have these things called, mountains? I don't know, I live in the Mid-South. Anyway, I'm back now, with some more Rap-Up goodness, and I'll never leave again. That is until I go on tour again in like a day. And then go to SXSW where I'll be performing on March 13!
Before I go, I wanted to say that I've recently read some of the best issues of comics in my entire life. No, not trades. ISSUES. I know, right? I don't believe it either. But it's totally true. I never believed in my life I could still be so moved, surprised, and impressed by comics, but lately, I have been with a handful of titles, and the general feeling I have towards what's coming out by both mainstream and indie comics is that things are pretty good. It's just something worth remembering, when you take a break from all the hate and negativity that gets bandied about online. Enjoy it.
Anyway, enjoy the Rap-Up. Be back later this month for some more.

Sorry I missed a week. Let's get back to it.Ayo I'm here to rap up all your comic book newsOpen up my web browser, while I click and peruseBeen gone for two weeks on a west coast tourSo I'm here to rep it for ComicsAlliance once moreHappy Valentine's Day, even if it's belatedAnd so I'll send you a gender swapped card that's been createdBy the maker of the Chester 5000 roboticsThis is me blowing a kiss to the women in comicsAnd I don't mean to treat you like Milo Minara wouldHaters on the internet, don't share our interestsI wanna tell people I'm a comic book man,But not how they portray my scene on televisionIt's all good, get the skeletons outBecause Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance just came aboutSo it wasn't the best, with a crazy Nick CageI'm a still watch whatever Neveldine and Taylor makeStill feel great for the state of comics todayAnd the slate of all the titles that's coming along the wayPhonogram, Mara, all the titles I gotta getBig ups to Sam Humphries now he's writing the ultimatesAnd I read the Dark Angel saga before I left for the tourBy Rick Remender on Uncanny X-forceAnd that, with Wolverine and the X-Men and DaredevilMake me thankful that I'm here to see the comics that developWith the people that do it for the love, because it's realWhen I'm reading new comics, that's the way it should feel.And I've been driving on the road going from state to stateRocking with the comic fans, as we're staying up lateAnd I'm running out of steam, b/c I rocked 9 showsAnd I got like 9 more, because I'm back on tourCuz by this time two weeks I'll be at south by southwestWearing my Batwoman tshirt, on stage leftThank god, for ComicsAllianceAnd the fans in the industryComics every WednesdayThe scene is giving meThe energy to rep it for males and femalesBig ups to all the haters who's sending in emailsIt's the rap up
