Fridays in my classroom are "comic book Friday", which means that, during silent reading time, my students are allowed to read comic books instead of their regular novels. Yes, even though I'm a comic book en

I've been enjoying going back through some of their team ups before the reboot and the current series is good too. The annual showing them as Supergirl and Robin was enjoyable. It's to see two genuine friends, reminds me of Jan and Wanda back whe

Kevin Smith does this podcast strictly out of love. It's obvious. I've said it before, but Kev Smith is the Barbara Walters of comic book interviewers.
Right now, he is interviewing Neal Adams.
