  • 5 Spider-Man Graphic Novels You Should Read.

    Ever since I started collecting comics, Spider-Man has always been one of my favorites.  From watching the cheesy show on Channel 32 back in the days, to making sure I got the 300th issue of The Amazing Spider-Man, I have always been a fan or “webhead”.  With the release of the new Spider-Man movie, I…

    This Father’s Day we wanted to do something a little different and honor some movie fathers who go above and beyond for their children. Some of these fathers go through hell and back for their children, while others just stick to their guns and hope it all works out in the end.  Though, no matter…
