Well that was fun...

April's A-to-Z Blog Challenge is officially over.  I'm glad I participated and had some fun doing it.  At times, it was difficult to view it as a challenge and not a chore, but I made it through.  I appreciate all the comments and the new followers that have come on board as a result.  I encourage everyone to stick around and keep reading.  This summer will see some crossover in DC's new 52 with Batman's Night of Owls event and the Teen Titans' The Culling.  I'll be seeing as many of the summer comic book films as I can and offer my opinion on those as well.

Interested in my take on a title?  Email suggestions to marc@pissues.com .  No guarantees that I can work it into my weekly comic budget, but I'll definitely take a look.
