If you name one of the popular anime series of the past 10 years, it is a safe bet Bryce Papenbrook voiced one of the characters. Surprisingly, voice acting was not the job he thought he would have growing up.

I also get answers to all my hard-hitting questions,...

I received a sample copy of the new title from independent comics publisher, Sigma Comics, called "Here Comes Calico". I planned on breezing through the comic just to get the gist of what it is about. That plan changed as soon as I saw the first page! Calico starts out with the lead character becoming upset while watching a video of someone abusing a dog. I instantly hated the imaginary person beating the dog. I am a big time animal lover so it was really disturbing to me. I can watch...

By all accounts, 2020 was a really crappy year. We lost a lot of beloved celebrities, most events were cancelled, and lots of businesses were forced to close due to the pandemic. I thought it more fitting to do an end of year "worst" list rather than a "best of" list. This list is by no means ALL the bad stuff from 2020. This is just the ones that came to me off the top of my head. Please feel free to add your list to the comments. Here's to hoping 2021 is a much better year. SUBSCRIBE to...

Mark Fenton is a comic book writer living in New Mexico. He dropped off his latest comic, SpaceCooler for me to read. It is a very interesting concept that was successfully kickstarted.

I am a big supporter of local talent, so I arranged for an interview with Mark so he could fill us in on all the cool stuff he...

Little known fact, Marvel Comics actually had a brothel in Nevada that employed mutants. The mutants that worked there had particular abilities that allowed them to give clients their ultimate pleasure without actually making physical contact with them. This brothel is only mentioned in a handful of issues. Since there was no actual physical contact between workers and clients, there wasn't a lot of scrutiny or protest about that story-line. If Marvel ever decides to pursue a Black Label...

With all non-essential workers being banished to their homes, a lot of streaming is going on.

With the theaters also being closed, they too were pushing the bandwidth limits at their houses. We thought it would be a good idea to drink and talk about what we were watching during our self isolation. Check out the...
