Review Multiversity Thunderworld Adventures #1

 
Always a fan of characters from the earliest days of comics history, I jump at the chance to write reviews of new books that feature them. So when I heard that Grant Morrison and Cameron Stewart were presenting a book on Captain Marvel in their excellent Multiverse series, I called "dibs" on it. I'm a staff writer for Broken Frontier, and with the site's preference for creator-owned, indie, and off-the-beaten-path comics, I've been able to review some terrific books.

Books featuring Captain Marvel are rare and definitely off the beaten path. Which is a shame. DC Comics did a great job giving the creative team freedom to incorporate favorite elements of classic Captain Marvel comics with enough character development and plot twists to keep modern readers turning pages as fast as possible.

You can check out my full review HERE.

Do yourself a favor and support this classic character, and maybe we'll get more Cap titles in the future. I sure hope so!

My Blog for Vintage Truck Magazine


Happy New Year, everyone!

For the last few months, I've been writing an online blog for the folks at Vintage Truck Magazine. Each month, I preview truck-friendly shows/events from all across the country. I'm having a blast talking to show organizers about their shows, and I've never met such enthusiastic truck and car owners who are so dedicated to sharing their hobby.

One of the swap meets I featured in the current blog is coming up on January 4, 2015. The Strictly Street Rod Club is hosting its annual "first swap meet of the year" at the Will County Fairgrounds in Peotone, Illinois. I took the photo above a few years ago at this event, and I can't wait to see what turns up there this year. Fingers are crossed for good weather!

The blog is called "The Eventer," and you can check it out HERE.

If you have a truck-friendly or truck-only show to recommend, please leave a comment and give me the show's info. I'd be happy to include it in a future blog post.
