Most reviews start with some catchy opening paragraph that toys with the reader; did the reviewer like the thing? Did they not? I’ll cut the crap. Crystal Lake fucking rocks. To put this review into perspective, I am someone who appreciates and respects the original franchise more than I actually …

Over 250,000 attendees joined me in celebrating the 20th anniversary of New York Comic Con, the biggest comic celebration on the East Coast.
