July 12, 2013: My Favorite Single Issue Comic Books!

I used to read a lot of comic books when I was a kid.  Eventually, I grew up and grew out of them.  Until high school when I started picking them up again and experienced my first wave of nostalgia for those childhood favorites: The Avengers, The Amazing Spiderman, and Batman.  In time, my interest…

Today, I decided to take a break and grab lunch at Fable Kitchen (in the premises formerly occupied by Refuel, and Fuel before that).  We came in on Dessert Master (and Stargate fan) Curtis Luk working his confectionary magic: We said our hello's, grabbed a table,…
