Okay, this’ll be quick since I’m on a lunch break here at the ol’ comic shop as Santa Barbara gets a deluge of rain (by the by, thanks customers for braving the weather for your funny books!), but I just read Amazing Spider-Man #548 where something cool happened.
Spider-Man talked to a cabbie.
One of my favorite [...]

Okay, I’m really sold on Robert Downey Jr. I’m really sold on the Adi Granov designs. This movie is getting ready to look SO GOOD.

They took my front counter pick away.
Before my shift was over at the store, they took my front counter pick away and replaced it with something else. The manager said it was because I was going to be off work soon, but this was the first time any of my suggestions had been taken away [...]

One More Day?
IT’S OVER!
That’s the best thing I can say on it, but apparently, other people can say a heck of a lot more, most of it pretty damning. I hate to say this, but the more people get mad, talk about it and say what anyone with a history of reading Spidey books knows [...]

Stop it.
Stop it!

Yikes! Did Tigra spit in Bendis’ coffee?
Now, as a service to his writing and for the sake of not making it look like a personal vendetta, here is the link to Marvel Comics’ website with the tag Women. They have a full list of other female superheroes that the Hood [...]
