A Comic Book Hoarder Anniversary, or, Does Anyone Remember Gift Certificates? Or Waldenbooks, for that matter?
Travis celebrates a notable comic book hoarder anniversary as he explains how he became a full time comic book geek 25 years ago today.
The Doin’ It Duo: Cougar And Cub 1
The usual AJS lineup shifted a bit this week, because Travis still wasn’t done with his look at our pal Nick Marino’s new comic Cougar and Cub. It worked out, though, because issue 1 is out next Wednesday!
Delayed Reaction: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
There is a confession I must make: I barely finished the last season of Buffy The Vampire Slayer (a.k.a BTVS) this month. I can hear the gasps, faints, cries of blasphemy already. When BTVS aired on the WB all those years ago, it was one of the awesome-est shows out there. The problem was, it wasn’t the ONLY awesome-est show. Every fiber of my being was owned by Dawson’s Creek and Roswell. Dawson trumped vampires. Although BTVS held my attention for a good few seasons and that was because of my everlasting TV crush, Seth Green, who played Oz on the show. Indeed, as most of my friends were mooning over David Boreanaz as Angel, my breath hitched for the aloof, spike-haired werewolf rocker. Something must have tweaked in my brain because I was convinced that the show killed him off and I dropped watching BTVS.

Today is Stan Lee’s 94th birthday. So why is that so many people want to use the occasion to shit on the guy?
Casting Call: ROAD HOUSE
ROAD HOUSE is an old favorite of mine and it’s about to be remade with a female lead. My feeling is, why stop there? Flip the gender on EVERY role.
