Washington’s Top 3 Superheros For National Superhero Day!
As my friend and I cruised around Central Washington hitting up Comic Book Stores (Ron's Coin & Collectables in Yakima, The Tiny Comic Shop in Moxee, Central City Comics in Ellensburg), it dawned on me that National Superhero Day is Sunday the 28th!
I have my favorites! Batman, Spider-Man, Space Ghost, Red Sonja, The Tick!
It really just depends on my mood, but the great thing about heroes, especially in this day and age, there's a hero for EVERY mood!
