The Big Story
The Comics Guide for Dec. 11, 2013, has arrived!
It's here, so everyone can do a happy dance. (Make sure you're alone first!) Anyway, the year is winding down, so none of the publishers are breaking out much in the way of big, blockbuster material. But, as always, the Captain can find something to chat about, like the Batgirl cover at right.
GO HERE for the greatest Comics Guide on the Interwebs!
