Running a comic book store is not the same as being the manager of your local CVS. It involves knowing which characters your customers love to read each week and how many boxes of the new Magic: The Gathering set to buy for your store. It also means creating an inviting atmosphere, which is easier said than done in a city like Boston. More
Batman Day is today, coming shortly after his 75th birthday, and he couldn’t be more beloved than he is right now.
He reigned supreme as the best selling comic book last month, and has pretty much been on top of the comic world since DC Comics launched their New 52 reboot in 2011. More
Forget about that NASCAR race up in New Hampshire this weekend. Forget that Argentina and Germany are clashing in the FIFA World Cup final on Sunday. Forget about how the NFL preseason is creeping closer and closer. More

All that the United States Men’s National Soccer Team had to do was weather the storm of one last Portugal offensive possession. Unfortunately for the boys in red, white and blue, Cristiano Ronaldo delivered a perfect ball to Silvestre Varela, who was able to tie the game 2-2 in the last minute of added time.

The FIFA World Cup has been around since 1930 and with each tournament since ‘62, there have been several songs dedicated the event.

But that being said, the World Cup has led to some great…and not so great songs to be recorded over the years. Let’s take a look at the best and worst songs to ever be associated with soccer’s grandest tournament. More
The 2014 FIFA World Cup kicks off in Brazil this week (yes, pun intended) but those of us who call the United States home might not be so familiar with the world tournament of football, or soccer, as we call it. The event comes just every four years and as the rest of the world likes to remind the States, soccer does not have the religious following here as it does pretty much everywhere else.

The New England Revolution does not have a long, storied history filled with names like Bobby Orr, Ted Williams or Larry Bird. The Revs did not win three world titles between 2001 and 2004 like the other Robert Kraft-owned team that shares Gillette Stadium.
