Paul Dini's Tales of True Romance

If you're like me and you can't satisfy your thirst for Paul Dini-penned material with monthly fixes of Detective, Madame Mirage, and Countdown (maybe not Countdown), here's a special Valentine's Day treat: iFanboy now features a weekly column by the man himself, 200 Words with Paul Dini.

In this inaugural Valentine's Day edition, Paul writes of true love and decidedly Zantannaesque sweetheart, Misty Lee (she's also the voice of Rashy the monkey, pictured above, who once interviewed Mark Hamill).

• iFanboy's 100th Pick of the Week Podcast
  
• 8pm @ Jim Hanley's Universe, 4 West 33rd St, Manhattan
  

Listening to these three dude talk comics on the iFanboy Podcast was a big part of what converted me from a casual TPB browser to an actual, in-the-store-every Wednesday comic reader. Watch them do their show live at Jim Hanley's and then head over to a local bar for the afterparty.

• Comic Book Club feat. iFanboy
  
• 8pm @ The PIT, 154 W. 29th Street, NYC
  

How much comic book fandom can you handle? This meeting of minds between NYC's hottest trios of comic criticism is likely to create some sort inter-dimensional black hole, or will possibly usher forth some matter of uber-nerd. So you'll want to be there for that.
