Today (Wednesday, 1/30) the final issue of one of my favorite comic book series will be released. Y: The Last Man #60 (from co-creators Brian K.

*For Monday. My friend Mike Russell – who runs Culturepulp and just did a wonderful interview with Marjane Satrapi and also writes for the Oregonian – does some movie talking on the Portland radio, and when he was unable to attend an early screening of Rambo asked me to do a little filling in with the Chudboard’s own … Continue reading
