  • it’s 2009, bRING BACK ALPHA FLIGHT ALREADY DAMMIT!

    I have been missing a good Alpha Flight title since John Byrne left it in the 1980’s. Yes it’s true I am an Alpha Flight fan and I am proud of  it! I’m STILL pissed off that Bendis killed them off in 2006! I still need to confront him about that (he lives here in Portland Oregon and…

  • GREATEST comic book themed music videos ever!! Entombed praises Wolverine!!

    Wow, this is harder than i thought finding comic book inspired music videos!! I am not going to give up easily though even if Nickelback actually does make the cut.
