The comic, by superstars Mark Millar (Wanted) and John Romita Jr. (X-Men, Spider-Man, the Eternals, Wolverine) — son of the legendary John Romita — was overhyped to […]

Arrival by Joel Champagne When the freeway is too slow, RedFence provides alternate means of transportation. The Con seems different this year.

The Final Day by Joel Champagne Well, Comic-Con is winding down, and it clearly showed. The panels and audiences didn’t have the same energy as on previous days. There were fewer lines, but quieter rooms. All in all, the experience of the Con was a great one. Despite all of the idiot security guards, the […]
