Brace yourself, but the best book that I have ever read is hands down this Max Brooks classic, "World War Z." Now before you even say, "Why should I read the book when I can just watch it on Netflix?", that Brad Pitt snoozer is NOTHING like the book.
Hey everyone! It's September 3rd and today I wanna throw out my pick for the Comic Book of the Day! So get ready and let's have that drum roll please!
AND TODAY'S COMIC BOOK IS...
The Incredible Hulk #222!
Is it just me or does anyone else think that this book right here is soon gonna rival Batman Adventures #12 in popularity? Can Livewire really compare to our beloved psycho princess, Harley Quinn? Blasphemy! Or is it? One, they both have those sadistic smiles and two, crazy chicks are pretty hot, right? Come on. Don't deny it. Crazy chicks were hot in high school and they're still hot now, restraining orders be damned.
Kobra Comics!
