By Christopher Troy Greetings FPNYC faithful. It’s a new week, so it’s time for my weekly review, and this week’s feature focuses on a topic near and dear to my heart: Action Figures and collectibles […]
By Loran Alright, big confession time: I was never into comic books as a kid. Still reading? Well, okay. They just never appealed to me too much and I could never figure out why. Even […]
The good news is I’m no longer being held prisoner by Mermen. The bad news is I’m now being held prisoner by Magma Monsters. See, I started tunneling out of my barnacled cell using a […]
Ah, the New York Comic Con. Did you have fun? I didn’t. I was trapped in a cage beneath the surface of the waves by burbling, sociopathic Mermen. YES, still. NOT going to a con […]

Things in my cave are GREAT, thanks! I’ve taken care of that horrible bear, found a few new non-poisonous mushrooms and even got a girlfriend …although she might just be a hallucination, a side-effect from […]
One of my favorite cartoons from Nicholas Gurewitch. This and Wrath of Khan are the first things that come to mind on the anniversary of anyone’s birth.
