I recently was given the opportunity to chat with Nina Post, the author of Danger in Cat World, The Last Condo Board of the Apocalypse The Last Donut Shop of the Apocalypse and One Ghost Per Serving. We talked social media, her influences, web comics and quantum mechanics. First things first, what inspired you to become an author?…
Jeff Smith started the Bone series back in 1994 when I was but a meager ten year old. I can vividly remember going to the grocery store with my Mother and begging her to buy me the latest issue of Disney Adventures. Due to my insistent whining, my Mom finally caved and bought it for…

I almost feel as if this series has been made for me. So, here’s the deal. A massive earthquake has rocked Gotham City to its core –…
I have a confession to make. I haven’t read the first Kick-Ass book nor its follow up, Hit-Girl. To the best of my knowledge, the first movie pretty much nailed what went on in the first two hardcovers and by the looks of the trailer for Kick-Ass 2, it’s set to do the same. I…
