Sir Jon Reviews – Betty and Veronica #1-3
Icons come in many forms, more so when it comes to comic books.

It’s been a few weeks since I read Ben Passmore’s YOUR BLACK FRIEND, a one-shot comic book that I couldn’t pass on ordering when it was solicited through AdHouse Books some months back.

Titan Comics “Robotech” #1 Writer: Brian Wood Artist: Marco Turini I had two reasons why I picked up this book. Number one is that it’s “Robotech,” a favorite cartoon from my childhood and college.

It’s hard to say when Gary Gygax affected me the most. I recall marveling over his alliterative name, wondering how it was pronounced, if it was real, and if it was, if he liked it.
