Free Comic Book Day is rapidly approaching and we couldn’t be more thrilled at the store.  If you’ve been in lately no doubt you’ve noticed our constantly playing Ghostbusters 1, 2, and the Animated Series on the TV whilst stuffing our faces with Twinkies (or Zingers, which, I hear are just as good) in anticipation [...]

Those of you who are also huge Kevin Smith fans (or just wanted to catch a preview of next week’s The Walking Dead) no doubt checked out his latest show, Comic Book Men on AMC this past Sunday.  Having recently gotten my Smith fix at Kevin Smith’s Live from Behind event, I was ready for [...]

February 14, 2012 in Comic Talk

Because nearly the entire crew have significant others there is no show this week and apparently this Valentine’s Day thing is kind of important.  However, because it’s Valentine’s Day I thought to myself who among the women in comic books would I absolutely not go out with today?  And now, for your reading pleasure I [...]

January 27, 2012 in Comic Talk

If you read my Winter 2011 Pulls post you know that Aquaman was one of my favorites right out of the gate.  However, we’ve now come to the end of the first arc, lasting 4 issues entitled Terror from the Deep.  Rather than review the latest issue individually, I thought I’d start a new series [...]
