Comics, Culture, & More has been an idea that I came up with years ago about an idea that I wanted to write commentaries/blog entries about not only comics but the culture around them. Everything from collecting, creators we love, personal connections, and the like. These ideas never really manifested outside what spiraled notebook I was writing in at that time. Many years later, once I started writing for Comic Watch I pitched the idea and was given the green light. I've enjoyed writing this column and I'm extremely grateful for Comic Watch for giving me the opportunity and a boost in confidence to publish.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have always been a huge part of my life and the fandom is absolutely a joy to be around. I truly believe it's one of the best fandoms with very little toxicity. In Under the Shell I try to capture the great feeling about not only being apart of this great fandom but how the turtles are a part of who we are.
My love for horror started young and it started with Michal & Freddy. To this very day, I will binge Nightmare on Elm St. and Halloween and be just as amazed as I was all those years ago. There's something about horror that is so satisfying and oddly comforting. My hope is that these feelings come through with these commentaries.
You are all my children now: Celebrating 30 years of Freddy Krueger and A Nightmare on Elm St.
From Haddonfield With Love…Michael Myers, Halloween, and Why We Can’t Stop Watching!
I retired from the Navy in 2017 and I'm still not sure where I fit into the grand scheme of things when it comes to being a "veteran". I'm glad I did it, I made some great friends, and I've got to see some really cool places but I also missed a lot. I'm more interested in moving forward than I am looking back on those days.
Thank You For Your Service: A Veteran's Day Perspective
A "Thank You" letter to Donny Cates and everyone that has worked on the last 34 issues of Venom taking its 200th issue milestone. Definitely an important time for the Venom lore
