At the beginning of the month the CBD team and myself were in Beantown for the comic con (go Canucks go) which gave me the perfect opportunity to continue on my quest for the ever elusive AF 15. As usual I went from booth to booth and explained my little project to the dealers. All are...

Whosoever Holds This Hammer appears every Tuesday (more or less) exclusively on Comic Book Daily. It will be no surprise to anyone when I say that Wolverine and Spider-Man are among the most popular comic book characters every created. Their popularity is greater than ever, but I do wonder...
