The love affair between comic books and professional wrestling continues to grow as this year we can expect a comic book about wrestling (Ringside by Joe Keatinge and Nick Barber) and a professional wrestler diving into the world of superhero comics (Drax, written by CM Punk). Beyond those most mainstream releases, Frank Gibson and his […]
Kingsman is Both a Throwback to and Skewering of Classic Spy Films
I feel bad for Kingsman. Movie people will assume it’s crap after being shunted from its November 2014 release to late winter, a period commonly accepted as a Siberian wasteland for would-be blockbusters.

Sometimes we just want to talk about old comics we found in bargain bins or antique stores or in our garages. Is that so wrong?
