Comics Are Trying to Break Your Heart #297: Confronting the Pile, Pt. 16
As time goes on, we must return back to the pile. It has shortened slightly after all this time, but with time comes new series and issues and the propensity to wait for some of them to simply end before I finally get to them. Time makes that happen every time. But at least for… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #506: Hell House LLC II: The Abaddon Hotel
