gagglefrak - comic books, science fiction, faux profanity

Over at WizardUniverse.com, Tom DeFalco, Peter David, Rob Liefeld, and some others have decided to chime in about “The 10 Most Controversial Costume Changes That Rocked Comics’ Fandom”.

One of these changes was before my time (my comics-reading time anyway), two of these I wasn’t even aware had ever happened (or if I was, I blocked it out of my memory), and one I have to say I kind of liked … and I’m probably not the only one. I’ll let you guess which is which (and no, the one I liked is not the half-naked woman). Continue Reading »

The New York Comic Con came and went a month ago.  But Freakgirl and I gathered some swag during that weekend that we’d like to give away, including free books, a Buffy poster, and some other fun stuff.  Want it?  Then head on over to Freakgirl.com to find out how you can win it!
