The United States of America turned 240 this Fourth of July and in that relatively short time as a nation, America has played a pivotal role in shaping the world. Depending on who you ask, its influence has been called either a bastion of hope or a plague upon this Earth. What’s undeniable, however, is that America’s Independence signaled a…

The Mixed Marvel Arts Podcast is divided against itself! Not over the quality of the Captain America: Civil War movie, but literally divided!

The second season of the 2016 Fantasy Comic League welcomed two new members who immediately challenged the status quo of the league.

The All-New, All-Different Avengers assembled for Brian and delivered him his second straight victory. Johnny continued his slow crawl up the ladder and Lash remained in the cellar.

Johnny triumphant! Not really, but it had been a full year, since February 2015, since he placed higher than last in the Fantasy Comic League.
