Back in 2011, I was getting interested in comics again. I had discovered “Comixology,” and was reading Conan the Barbarian and other titles lightly. This was new to me…I had never read this stuff before. But I thought it a good alternative to Marvel, who’s take on Spider-Man had pushed me away, and from DC … Continue reading
SpartanNerd…For the Love of Liliana! (help!)

When I top-8ed in February last year, I bought a premium box to reward myself, the Ultra Pro … Continue reading
