I spend a lot of time on the internet. Its a way to pass the time for sure, but its also part of my job. If you get a chance to be paid to surf the net I recommend that you do. Anyway, as I surf I occasionally come across various bits of art that
Part two of the “Anima Mundi” storyline and the second to last issue of Animal Man before we move on to a new tile. Perhaps the will pick up and end with a flourish, it could happen. Hint: it doesn’t. Jerry Prosser is not a bad writer. The problem is he’s not

Okay, I’ll admit that when Marvel announced Guardians of the Galaxy as part of its Phase II I was … skeptical. It’s a relatively unknown franchise that features a sentient tree and a talking raccoon as major characters, that’s a bit of a gamble. Don’t get me wrong I was thinking kudos for taking the
