We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
The crew is going to be away for a while. We our traveling down to our next convention in Dallas. We are attending A-Kon. We also have some other stops planned along the way. We will be back at the last part of next week. Before we leave off tonight we will be doing one more post and it is one of our ComicPop Visits. Until then have a fun time everyone.
