The first thing to catch your attention about Cave Carson Has a Cybernetic Eye is, obviously, the title. And yes, it’s a factual statement about the main character. But if you pick up the comic you’ll soon find out there’s a lot more to it than an enhanced human character. Continue reading Comics Cosmos – Cave Dwellers & Cybernetic Eyes

But, last weekend at the Akron Comic Con I was introduced to something else… something I never knew existed… NEW PULP! Continue reading Irregular’s Intel – New Pulp: Classic Action For a New Age
