Mysterious Tales of the Sacramental Comic Book Part One

The Mystery of the Catholic Devil
Since I started getting back into comic books, people have asked me my favorite. That is a difficult question to answer, as I have a number of “favorites” for different reasons. For example, I’m a huge Green Lantern fan. As a fiction writer, there’s nothing more appealing than a superhero who can create “objects” by [...]

The Adventures of G.K. Chesterton and the Penny Dreadfuls Since Geek Goes Rogue started, I’ve been overwhelmed by the response. Geeks of all stripes are coming out of the woodwork and thanking me.
