COMICSHEATINGUP

It’s that time again, where we make our weekly trip and support our local comic book shops with our hard earned cash. So what’s it going to be this week that heats up?

So, let’s get on with these stinkin’ picks Poyo, you’re boring your readers with your nonsense.. Continue reading “Poyo's Picks of the Week for February 8th, 2017”
