The Book Report — A Foolish Parody

Hey, kids! Welcome back to The Book Report. The Mythoi Book I: Birth Trade Paper-Back comes out this month (just in case you missed the official press release), and I strongly urge you to pick up a copy.

Do you remember the time…

Greetings readers! When I was coming up with a blog for this week, I got it into my head that I would do a look at comics that had “jumped the shark”. I was pretty excited about the idea, but as I went digging through my longboxes, looking for the exact point when THE AUTHORITY started to suck, I couldn’t help but be […]
