Greek Paradox and Costume Changes

When I was a kid I used to enjoy reading comics in the summertime.  Because there would be one crossover event for the summer that was actually important.   They used to be interesting and have repercussion that lasted a long time.  Anyone remember Marvel’s first Secret Wars back in 1984?  The Avengers, the FF, the [...]

BIG fan of the Watchmen graphic novel.  A little worried that Warner Bros, is doing this one—since V for Vendetta (another Alan Moore masterpiece) was just okay.  But thankfully the trailer shows a lot of promise. This is a great time to be a comic book connoisseur and all around fan of pop culture items [...]
