Every October I like to share two very specific types of stories with you in my Marvel Madness posts. Earlier this month I took you on another trip to the spooky town of Rutland, Vermont, and next week I’ll share another ridiculous adventure of the lord of […]
Over the past two years I’ve had the bizarre pleasure to share a couple of very strange stories with you, taking place in the seemingly random location of Rutland, Vermont. In the past I’ve given some explanation for why Marvel comics in the 1970’s continued to […]
Hey, Spider-Man’s pretty hot right now, right? The PS4 game is kind of blowing up and everyone’s talking about it? At least, they were last week? It’s a great game, I really loved it, and I’ll be talking about it later. But, when people are in […]
