Bone's Thursday at C-Con Shoot 'em Up and throw 'em up!

When it comes to Comic-Con, Adam is a relentless and unforgiving taskmaster. He insists on being in the front of a line at an event that draws 123,000 attendees. As you might well surmise this involves hauling your "went to bed at 2 in the morning" ass out of bed mighty early, try 4:30 - driving to... [More]

Check out Adam's review while we bang away at our big reports - there is so much stuff, so much stuff - but it's also damn cool it's worth 4 straight days of 10 hours a... [More]

Give Me a Second

Give Me a Second

Adam's Comicon Lexicon is almost on, in the meantime enjoy a quick Bone-ing. From the time I was 10 years old I've been afraid of Jesus. I say this for two reasons.

Adam Has a Good Hair Day

Adam Has a Good Hair Day
