1. Alan Ilagan’s Jury Duty Journal
Local writer and artist Alan Ilagan recently served on the jury for the trial of the Albany teen who stabbed 17-year-old Tyler Rhodes to death during an altercation that was caught on video. He chronicled his journey and related not only his involvement in the process but the emotional […]
Actually, you would see that the biggest gift would be from Batman, because his secret identity is Bruce Wayne who is, like, stupid rich. Richer even than Aquaman who’s a fucking King for crying out loud.
By the by, Aquaman as Rose is what makes this work.
As mentioned previously, there’s also going to be a Silent Auction with some great items from artists all over to benefit […]

Instead, I will just say what a wonderful thing you missed if you weren’t there. The Holiday […]
The Marvel comics franchise “X-Men” has been lauded for its cultural sensitivities and perpetual relevance due to parallels commentators draw between its protagonist mutants and real-life ethnic, religious, and sexual minorities in the United States. The comic, naturally, has always been all too aware of […]
