Horror has long been somewhat free from the contempt that familiarity brings.

It’s hard to believe, but the Justice Society of America hasn’t been a major presence in the DC Universe in nearly a decade.

The end of Breaking Bad felt like the end of an era. The Golden Age of Television, marked by writer/creator-driven dramas focused on male anti-hero protagonists, arguably kicked off when Tony Soprano carried out a hit while on a college visit with his daughter, and ended when chemistry teacher turned meth kingpin Walter White took
There’s never a bad season of the year for reading. Whether it’s winter, summer, spring, or fall, there’s a reading habit that goes oh-so-well with the season.
