The Creator of Captain America Passes
“Only a week after the creator of the Joker, Jerry Robinson, passed away, on December 14th, Joe Simon, co-creator of Captain America and several other characters from the Golden Age of comics, passed away at the age of 98.”
I hate/love writing obituaries - I like to let people know who is gone and what they accomplished while they were alive so they can appreciate them more, but I’m always afraid if I do a lackluster job I will be doing a disservice to them.

About me
I am a comic book reviewer for playeraffinity.com and will be posting previews of my reviews/news/features about comics here which you can finish reading on the site. I critique not only the story, but how well the characters are written, the artwork and even the colors - and although I have a tendency to be a little hard on all comics (and I hate giving them scores), I thank all creators of the comics I review for adding to the medium I love!To any people who follow I'll happily follow you back! And any constructive criticism (or praise?) is welcome.
Also enjoy random comic-related clips from youtube and the like that I find and post!
And follow me on twitter at @Comic_Maven.
