Todd McFarlane’s Spawn

In the mid-90s Spawn was one of the most popular comics on the market. It consistently ranked among the top10 Diamond Comics best sellers list for years. In my opinion Spawn managed to hold on to its popularity longer than...

When I look back on my childhood I still can’t believe I was allowed to watch R-rated movies like Predator and the Running Man in the theater. I guess no one cared about the children in the 80s as we...

Side Arms

I will always have a soft spot for Side Arms. Anyone that owned one during its time will remember how lonely it was to be a Turbo Grafx fan. While Sega and Nintendo fans traded games left and right you...
