Anyone who has read my bio knows that I served six years in the United States Air Force. I love my country, and respect every man and woman to ever wear a uniform in its defense. I never fail to thank a veteran or soldier for their service when I meet them. I am also [...]

Star Wars Legacy #3 Review

Mike Turner II — Thu, 23 May 2013 16:00:03 +0000

As a huge Star Wars fan I try to keep up with everything, but with limited time this is unfortunately impossible for me to do, so I pick and choose whatever catches my eye from the Star Wars universe.

What I’d Wear If I Were Captain America

Jessi Roman — Thu, 23 May 2013 15:00:26 +0000

Barbecues, swimming holes, apple pies… you can almost smell the citronella candles just thinking about it. These are the images that spring to mind while browsing Etsy for “Captain America” clothes. All [...]

Green Lantern #20 Review

Eric Scroggs — Thu, 23 May 2013 02:00:21 +0000

This issue is a milestone in a lot of ways.
