While in the attic recently, I came across several of my old posters. When I was in college and working at a comic book shop, these things plastered the walls of my apartment. They were everywhere! Nowadays I only have comic posters hanging in my Comicatorium. So I decided these old posters needed to see […]

I recently had another opportunity to interview Gerry Conway, comics and TV legend! This time Michael Bailey (from the Views from the Longbox podcast) and I interviewed Gerry together. Gerry was extraordinarily generous with his time sitting down with us for about two hours. What a great guy! Previously I interviewed Gerry about Firestorm, a […]

Sorry for no post yesterday. Time lost to three hours of Chuck, two hours of Battlestar Galactica: The Plan, several Blackest Night crossover issues, and a sick child all caught up with me. Sometimes other things just get in the way. To pour salt in that wound, I’m not even going to give you a […]
