Seeing as that it is Halloween, I couldn't let this opportunity pass by without talking about some of the greatest monsters to ever appear in comics. Now, I'm going to put these in order, but it's kind of arbitrary, isn't it? So don't take it too hard. I'm also going to leave out a lot… Continue reading Monsters in Comics
I've been meaning to start this series for some time now, so it's about time I got here. The first volume is an in depth look at the hip hop scene from the mid 70s to 1981, the founding years of hip hop. This is something that I know next to nothing about.

As today is Valentine's Day, and I'm a sucker for such things, I've decided to dive into the romantic side of comics. This is not going to be an academic look into love, rather, an examinations of some of the comic book relationships that really stick out to me. No, not every couple will be… Continue reading Comic Book Romance
Do you know what's hard? Making comics. Do you know what's even harder than that? Understanding, and thus, correctly using social media for a business. Well, for me it is anyway.
