08/25/2013: What’s New on ComicSpectrum
I finally got current on my Marvel NOW reading and did a survey of Marvel books. Also, please check out the convention calendar with the major comic cons coming up over the next year and check out a con in your area. Drop me a note if I’m missing any and I’ll get them added. I’ve been working on a brief historical overview of comics based on a framework from Shawn Hoklas, hopefully I can finish that up this week.
