Daily Birthdays and Events in Sci-Fi, Comics and related areas

November 17, 2011

Catwoman, Uncanny X-Men, Flapper Filosofy, Archie Comics, Iron Man, The Immortal, Beware! The Blob, Starfleet Insignia, Justice League.

Even though the animated cartoon, Justice League, came out in 2001 I still take a peek once and a while in case I missed an episode. I always thought I was a Marvel man until I began watching the series and now I find just as much allegiance to DC as I do to Marvel.


Enjoy !!!
