The venue has changed a few times- starting in Leominster’s Veteran’s Center, then jumping to Fitchburg’s Wallace Civic Center, and […]
We’re still not ready for Milligan and Allred’s post-modern mutants
Hard to believe it’s been over 20 years since Marvel rebooted the X-Men line for the then freshly born 21st century, ushering in an era of post-modern mutants clad in leather and drenched in Y2K cool/ennui. Morrison and Quitely’s New X-Men was the crown jewel, but the oddest mutant book […]
The Story of Superman: A tabloid worth your time!
I used to love going on routine trips to the grocery store or pharmacy with my grandpa as a kid, because all those places had a spinner rack full of comic books that I could pilfer. Those spinner racks are long gone, and comic books are nowhere to be found […]
Iggy & Romero: America’s Sweethearts
Meet Iggy and Romero! Here’s a page from LadyDarke #3 featuring Laura’s Uncle Iggy and his talking shotgun, Romero. These two are a lot of fun and add that appropriate amount of inappropriate uncle energy to the world of LadyDarke. If you haven’t already, back LadyDarke Book III – Into the […]
Ghosts of the digital age
What happens when the future gets old? What happens when the hot newness of the bleeding age gathers rust and accumulates the barnacles of time? A friend of mine passed away last year. Someone I’d known for over 25 years. Despite many years without seeing each other in person, we […]

The discrete charm of 20th century TV
Maybe it’s a midlife crisis kinda thing, I don’t know, but I’ve been enthralled by rediscovering the television shows of my youth. The stuff of syndication dreams and reruns paradise from the era of the CRT. They say the present is the golden age of TV, with stuff like Breaking […]
Lousy Smarch Weather
March in New England is a good time to steep in regret and think about all the mistakes you’ve made in your life. Namely, how did I end up here in the hills of Worcester County, watching multiple feet of snow fall over everything, while my friends and colleagues in […]
