Comic book day is just around the corner. You want to start reading comic books so you can keep up with your comic book loving friends conversations, but you just don’t know where to start! That’s where I come in. A while back, I decided to create this series that will feature a list of [...]

I can be a bit snobbish at times when it comes to comic books. That is to say that sometimes just a certain word associated with a title or series will immediately make me think about skipping over it. Words like “crossover” or credits tagged with “from the band…” tend to turn my stomach, more [...]

It has come to my attention that several of you are not as obsessed with comic books as I am. So it is with that in mind that I have created this series, for the casual reader, if you will. There are plenty of websites out there that will give you list after list of [...]

Where I live, I unfortunately have no Local Comic Shop (LCS). I used to back in the day but they went out of business just like anything else cool we get around here.
