This week I have for you some amazing comic adventures in another city as I take you through my amazing trip to Vancouver to visit the Falling Skies set.   They flew us all out on Thursday, from all around the country and globe. Our drivers picked us up at the airport and took us back to the amazingly beautiful Shangri-La Hotel. Vancouver is a seismic zone...

And what truly awesome events they...

When I was a little kid, I remember fondly sitting in front of the TV in my Batman pajamas and Batman terrycloth robe to watch Adam West ham it up as Batman, then I’d spend a good hour or two whooshing around the house with a blanket tied around my neck as a cape. To this day, I sign into free-to-play MMOs like Champions Online and DC Universe Online to feel...
