Thank you for visiting from one of the many social networks where I am active! I think it is awesome that you took the time to click through from my profile.
I’m Peter, author of what was Philly’s longest-running blog, though it’s now based in Wellington. I’m Customer Success and Brand Strategy executive, singer/songwriter and musician, major comic books fan, somewhat OCD organizer of things, father, and paradoxical narcissist with image issues.
Online I talk about all that I do and love – communications, comics, music, politics, Drag Race, blogging, being new to New Zealand – everything is fair game. Here some more about me:
This is my personal blog, Crushing Krisis, established August 2000. I have a “best of” category with over a decade of my most well-loved posts.
I have a YouTube channel where I post both music and vlogging, including my comics show Crushing Comics.
I write and play a lot of music, which I’ve featured regular on CK over the years. You can download my solo music, although my newest recordings are now nearly a decade old. I’m hoping to fix that sometime soon!
If you’re a comic book fan, you need to check out my Definitive Guide to collecting Marvel comic books as graphic novels and my still-in-progress Definitive Guide to DC Comics. Apart from my obsessively explaining how to collect your favorite characters, I regularly write about comics on the blog, including indie titles.
(Indie creators, I’d love to review your comics! Talk to me.)
I have a history of under-taking major blog projects in November. In 2006, I read over 2,000 blogs and recorded an entire season of my Trio podcast. In 2016, I posted as if CK was a major media empire and shared the opening chapters of my novel. In 2017, I launched a YouTube series where I get to know my comic collection all over again as I unpack it in Wellington.
To learn more about me, read my blog bio. Twitter is the fastest way to get in touch with me, but you an also use my contact page to email me. I’m also on Facebook, if you enjoy that sort of thing.
CK’s hosting costs are paid for by generous Patrons on Patreon. I quite literally could not do this without them.
