Why I’m Taking a Break: Exhibit A
Wizard sucks? The first of many weekly video blog posts is now up. In this episode I’m talking about Wizard Magazine. Hardly an interesting subject, I know, but as I was flipping through the latest issue I noticed a few things that made me cringe, made me think and made me want to throw up.

Time For Another Break…
Posting’s been light round these parts recently as the real world’s been busier than usual, to the point where I even fell behind on my weekly pickup and am still slogging through the backlog.

REVIEW: Uncle Sam and The Freedom Fighters #1
A city devastated by metahumans. Political intrigue and post-9/11 fear-mongering. Heroes pitted against the government and each other, forced to choose between wildly uneven sides.
