Free Comic Book Day Story

May 18, 2008

In case you didn’t read it by now, the Free Comic Book Day story of Dynamite and the Daredevil character was good. I’m glad to know the Claw is public domain in look and style and can be used. And better yet his name and image are both in the public domain, not like...

Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus Review

  Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus on Amazon CLICK HERE By far the best Omnibus I think is the Amazing Spider-Man one. It’s just over 1,000 pages and the same price as the other $100 versions that have anywhere from 200 to 400 pages less. So on page count alone you are getting a bargain. I...
