Like a phoenix from the ashes, The Stack has been reborn!

The Stack

Part reading journal. Part cover gallery. All comics. The Stack is now a daily-ish gallery of comics art based on my reading habits, along with occasional knee-jerk reviews and snarky commentary — all delivered direct to your Facebook feed (provided you like the page, that is — and, honestly, why wouldn’t you?). Feel free to share the images and post your own thoughts and commentary — but most of all, enjoy the awesomeness that is comic books.
