Comics, Toys And Movies: The Star Wars Galaxies I Grew Up With
I’d love to unravel some wonderful story about watching Star Wars the first time it was released, in the theater surrounded by my family and getting completely sucked in by the special effects and the epic story, but it wouldn’t be true; sure, one of my earliest memories was seeing the poster before it was released – I think I was going …
Original Diana Plays Her Own Mom In New V

New Comics for 8/11/10
Sometimes, Virgo, sometimes when I’m lazy Sunday-ing around Wednesday can seem so far away. To alleviate the anxiety (or maybe to exacerbate it) I make a list.
