Since the last post here, we’ve had a few things going on. We spent an unconventional Thanksgiving in a hotel in Charlotte, NC so Jason could compete in the US Masters chess tournament. It was good to have a change…
When it comes to vigilante justice, why should millionaire playboys, off-duty cops and crackpot scientists have all the fun? In HIT Comics #1, beekeeper Richard Raleigh gets into the act with an M.O. that combines his skills as a brawler…
