Feed Your Habit While Supporting Your Libraries
Knowing we had a baby on the way and I was taking a year off work to be a stay-at-home dad, I understood we had to start cutting back on nonessential purchases. Among those things I deemed unnecessary to buy were graphic novels. However, as a lover of the genre for over twenty-seven years, there…

First Reaction to the Watchmen Trailer
If you read my reaction to the Watchmen “first look” still photos released some time ago (https://scottwilliamfoley.com/2008/03/07/a-reaction-to-the-first-look-watchmen-photographs/), you know that I’m totally supporting Zach Snyder’s efforts with Alan Moore’s seminal series.

Feeling Satisfied After LOST
Last night the fourth season of LOST wrapped up and it left me feeling intensely satisfied. It is inarguably clear that the writers now have an end-goal in sight and are steadily working towards it.
