It’s Super Blog Team-Up season! Not familiar? It’s a great community of comic book bloggers that get together annually and write about a shared topic. This year is all about: REDEMPTION. I’ll get back to that in a bit and the roll call of my fellow Super Bloggers will be listed at the end of… Continue reading Two Staple Gold: Just A Pilgrim

Two Staple Gold: Brave and the Bold #148
If anyone else is hungover from last night’s company Christmas party, please raise your hand. Only me? Ah well, it’s all good. I may have landed myself on the naughty list for my ill advised shenanigans with the xerox machine but I’m still chock full of holiday cheer! Jolly would be a good word to… Continue reading Two Staple Gold: Brave and the Bold #148
Two Staple Gold: The Flash #163
“I like weird and wacky!” No, this isn’t the password to get into the fetish club downtown. Ahem… I think.

That’s all fine and dandy but I prefer to think of him as the villain who made Clamdiggers cool. Some of you may refer… Continue reading Two Staple Gold: Showcase #55
Two Staple Gold: House of Mystery #148
House of Mystery has long been associated with horror but it actually featured superhero stories from #143- #173. Martian Manhunter aka J’onn J’onzz was the main attraction for the majority of that span. He’s always confused me a little. Not the character overall but rather his popularity. The dude is a straight up heavy hitter… Continue reading Two Staple Gold: House of Mystery #148
Two Staple Gold: Brave and the Bold #137
Just about every comic book fan has heard of DC’s Brave and the Bold. The first volume ran for 28 years and 200 issues. Thanks to the popularity of his TV series the title exclusively featured Batman team ups with #74 and struck a chord with fans. Other versions have come and gone since the… Continue reading Two Staple Gold: Brave and the Bold #137
