Oh, that explains it: Also at SBC (not a permalink), "Zack S." tries to explain why he went after manga and superheroes in his last two columns:

"I’ve been told that I’m only writing these columns to stir up trouble and make a name for myself. To that, I shake my head. First, it’s sad when a person tries to get a point across and people accuse them of trying to make a name for themselves. Second, if I wanted to make a name for myself, I’m pretty certain I’d have to use my name. I’m not writing this column in an attempt to reach fame and fortune within the industry. I’ll leave that up to Brandon Thomas, Tim Hartnett, Rich Johnston, Markisan Naso and the countless other comic book columnist trying to claw their way to the top. I’m simply, and honestly, trying to open eyes to what is really going on. Many people know that today’s comics are in dire need of help, but obviously, there are still some people out there who need a little push."
