I turned 36 years old today. I’m fully aware that my next statement will be met with snickers and jeers by my older friends and family, but I’m going to say it anyway… I always thought of 36 – that … Continue reading

Superman on the Small Screen
Here’s a Smallville series wrap-up review by your local friendly neighborhood comic shop manager (if you live in Ventura, anyway). I actually did watch the first couple seasons of this show, until the Dawson’s-Creekishness got too overwhelming to take. If … Continue reading
