My Best Friend is a Wookiee
Do you use Wookiee or Wookie? At first, I thought the title “My Best Friend is a Wookiee” was an attempt to avoid a lawsuit and help Tony Pacitti write about his Star Wars fandom without the darkside of Lucas Films getting involved.

Moon Girl Trailer
Moon Girl is a comic by Tony Trov and Johnny Zito. The Rahzzah provides the art. It’s been described as Kick-Ass meets Marvel meets Detective Comics. I’m going to try and buy the comic; based on two things; the strength of the trailer below the fact that this comic is available for my iPod Touch, […]
