Traveling on business, I’ve been in a hotel all week. Flipping the channels on the in-room-pay-per-view, I observed that Twilight is available. I considered it for a moment… But it’ll appear on my bill… What if my wife found out? Or my boss?!? I’m a lay minister for crying out loud! I could be ruined! […]
One of the few perks remaining to air travelers is Sky Mall, or as I call it: The-catalogue-of-great-things-The-Wife-won’t-let-me-buy. Usually I fantasize about the At Home BeerTender or the Ultimate Pathfinder Watch. Hell, I even groove to Magellan’s Travel Vest.

In the early spring of 1976, I discovered my very first comic book. I was nine years old and hanging out at the corner convenience store with my best friend, Stevie. While the clerk had his back turned, I dared my chum to steal something. He stole a two cent piece of Bazooka Bubble Gum. […]

All I knew going into Bad Dog #1 was that it was about a werewolf bounty hunter. Not a bounty hunter chasing werewolves, no. A werewolf who makes a living as a bounty hunter. So already, I was hooked. The book, published by Image and written by Joe Kelly (I Kill Giants, Deadpool), is startlingly […]
