David doesn’t think I’m working hard enough. Apparently, managing all these blokes, getting a weekly schedule of articles, and my own share of the published material isn’t good enough for David. David thinks I need to do more. David thinks I should be more Alaskan. David also loves DMZ and his name is not a palindrome.
With that in mind, I bring you From The Editor’s Desk! Since we have had a recent influx of new and unique visitors, I feel an introduction is befitting for the moment. For those that don’t know, I am Matthew Meylikhov: fearless leader, head honcho, and the eponymous Editor-In-Chief of this here corner of the internet. We like to pretend that I am bigger than I am some days when in all reality, I’m just a nerd who lives in an apartment filled with comic book memorabilia and who likes writing about comic books every week. However, my inherent charm and charisma allows me to play the Jack Shephard to the MC Staff’s castaways.
I will be bringing you this weekly feature in which I will round up all the articles into a nice neat package for you. And I suppose that if I have anything entertaining to say, or informative, or whatever, I’ll use this spot to do such a thing. So enjoy this week’s round up of articles!
Also, if you aren’t already, follow us on Twitter and Facebook. We’re looking to start some giveaways up via those channels, plus we post all of our news there with links to our pages. Plus, we love the ego boost more fans/followers brings us.
