The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion on how we read comics. We're looking at it in terms of physical spaces and rituals/habits surrounding our favorite pastime. And no promises, but we might just wander off topic a bit. And as always, our picks of the week.
What we're up to this week:
Mikey's Big Bag o' Nothing® - kind of under the weather this week
Out at the racetrack (Texas Motor Speedway) having a blast playing with actual race cars
The Towering Inferno - doesn't age well, especially in terms of storytelling
The Complete Jim Starlin Warlock trade - fun to check out the beginnings of Marvel's space opera stories

As noted, if anyone from Frito-Lay can hook us up with a sponsorship or "review samples" we'd be happy to oblige :-)

The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion on the career and the impact of Adam West to the geek community.

What we're up to this week:
I Am Your Father - documentary about Dave Prowse and his uncomfortable relationship with Star Wars (a good if sad watch)
Why Horror? - Showtime documentary about the phenomenon of horror media (an interesting look at horror)
