Posted on February 24, 2011 by Popgun Chaos

Best Forgotten X-Files – “Fire”

Posted on February 17, 2011 by Popgun Chaos

Though it’s all but forgotten now, I still love the X-Files. The show had a profound effect on American mythology. In fact, I would go so far as to say that the X-Files was not only the show to define … Continue reading →

Jeff Lemire’s Superboy – the comic I’m loving

Posted on February 16, 2011 by Popgun Chaos
