Always Tip Your Bartender! I think that sentiment should apply to your Local Comic Book Shop owner as well. This week, I took to Twitter to look for some more books on this horror-light week. After not a lot of response, my local go-to in Cincinnati – Maverick’s Comics – introduced me to two titles […]
I’ve had, well, several career changes throughout my life. I waited tables in an assisted living home in high school then bartended in college.

I already wrote a review of The Conjuring 2, but I have some questions that would spoil the movie, so I opted to put them in a different post. Because I am a kind soul. 1. Lorraine was able to defeat the demon – Valak – by saying his name, screaming other things and condemning […]
