Last week or so, everyone has been talking about the big two and their readers. Not to be outdone, I just had to share my insights that are slightly related and unrelated to what everyone is talking about. First off, a confession. I wasn’t a big comics reader growing up. With the exception of the…
I’ve been sick with various colds for the past couple of weeks. I managed to pass the miserable, sniffling time by rewatching the Starz series Spartacus.
