The Rantcor Pit #6 - The Force Will Be With You...Always

It is a few days late but arriving just in time for 2013, the latest edition of The Rantcor Pit!

What?!  Cole Houston and Eddie Medina on a fault-finding tour through the Star Wars universe?  Say it ain't so!

Hey Kids, Comics! #69 - Seven Deadlies: You've Got What I Want

When confronted with covering the traditional Seven Deadly Sins in only five episodes of Hey Kids, Comics! the only approach that makes sense is to double up from time to time.  Well this is the first of two such times that are necessary to bring you all of the subject sins.  

In this issue, Andrew and Cole discuss the sins of lust and envy as they occur in comic books.

Whadjathink? - Thor: The Dark World
