Thursday, May 6th, 2010

Ok, so you saw Kick-Ass, and it was awesome, right? Then you checked out the comic, and it was equally awesome, yeah? Of course you did. But it got you thinking… who is this Mark Millar guy? He seems to be a pretty decent writer… Has he done anything else?
As usual my friends, we [...]

The purpose of this column is to help people who are new to comics, or have always wanted to get [...]

I buy comics to read and enjoy, and then I put them away somewhere, often without even bagging/boarding them. There are some people out there that are very careful about [...]
