- Special GIANT SIZE Issue
Hey,
It’s Jason V.
Happy Holidays.
There’s no one for me to terrorize at Camp Crystal Lake this time of year, so I get to catch up on comic books and movies while everyone else is eating and opening presents.
Speaking of movies, I know a guy who knows a guy who manages an old movie theater that still shows first run films.
He opens the back door for me late at night after they close. Whole theater to myself.
I think I’ll rewatch Godzilla Minus One, give the new Aquaman a try and maybe even see the Wonka movie. Yeah, I love me some Willie Wonka. Believe it or not, it’s actually not terror, mayhem and darkness all the time with me.
Anyway, thank you all for being here, this newsletter is growing at a steady pace and I really enjoy putting these together for you.
This is the last issue of 2023 but the first GIANT SIZE issue. It’s packed with two week’s worth of updates for you to get caught up on.
Due to the size of this one, your email platform may cut it off before the end. If so, you can read it online here.
I hope you all have a great rest of the year and Holiday Season. I’ll be back in January with another issue and I’ll be doing the big giveaway on January 24th.
Let’s get into it.
