A quiet and rainy Sunday here in the Village. I have my son this weekend and we went out to see Wolverine yesterday. It wasn’t a terrible movie and it’s worth seeing if you’re a big fan of the genre, otherwise I’d advise waiting for the DVD. Afterwards, we stopped by The Friendly Neighborhood Comic [...]
