Welcome to 2020
Ugh I know I’ve been missing in action. I kind of ran out of steam at the end of last year the day job really took over and there were some pesky life moments getting in the way of editing podcasts and making this blog as interesting as it could be.

It was a large number, I read very few comics and my personal life had a lot going on. This year I’m making some exciting reads…
