A early retirement blog that explores new income sources
There is a lively debate going on now in the CMSMT community about which of these 2 books are worth spending your dollars. I have a lot of say so rather than squeezing my thoughts into a few lines of comments, here is a full blown in depth look at the 2 issue. (Disclaimer: I […]
Captain marvel #17, 2nd print was a really good investment for me. It was a perfect storm of limited supply, growing fan base and a bit of media hype. I don’t think it has reached its potential yet but I am happy as it is right now. In fact, I am quietly confident that any […]
Most comic fans have a love/hate relationship with Booster Gold. Those who read the Justice League International will love the humor he brings to the stories while those who have never read him will see him as uncool.
