I lead the end of days


The stars, my son

I've hit the wall once or twice

Answer: The Falcon. Guessed by Ken Cox

Detective: Comics

I never fashioned myself as a hero but it just sort of... happened.


As a matter of fact, after a long layoff, I just sort of returned blue.


I've been doing this longer than some but even with everything I've done I just register.


Hell, I must be insane to keep doing this but you know what? I've barely scratched the surface.
