Comics Cosmos – A New Dawn for the Joes

Bringing Marty’s parents together and giving his father confidence did more than help give birth to 3 successful children. It made his father an author and made Biff a servant. This wasn’t supposed to happen though. These are all time paradoxes, also known as anomalies.

And Teddy takes care of these anomalies.  Continue reading Best Geeky Finds – Stop the Loop!
