For those who read this blog, (Hey, there's a few!) it just occurred to me that I might ought to post the email I sent out a couple of weeks ago, to those who run the Suspended Animation column on their site. It's fairly self-explanatory.
---------------
This is one of those "band-aid" moments, when it's best to say what needs to be said quickly and cleanly: Suspended Animation is going on hiatus. It is NOT going away.
I have to hand it to Michael Vance; he kept this column going for twenty years, some of the time by himself. I managed to do it by myself for a year. Barely. However, the commitments of family, work and the desire to pursue other writing ventures necessitate that I back off of the column for a while. When SA returns, it will more closely resemble a bi-weekly, or even monthly column. I am grateful to Herve St. Louis, of Comicbookbin.com, who has agreed to continue to run the reviews whenever they are sent to him. Providing the content is up to your standards, I hope the rest of you will do the same. If not, you have my gratitude for supporting Suspended Animation as long as you have.
All the best.
Mark Allen
--------------------
It should be noted that several others also expressed their commitment to SA. Needless to say, I'm humbled and grateful. Suspended Animation will be back.
