Site Updates

Having had a few spare hours at the start of the week, I took the opportunity to add a couple of bits and pieces to the annotations side of the site.

  • Updated the Eclipso House Ads page
  • Updated the Zero Hour House Ads page
  • Updated the Crisis on Infinite Earths House Ads page

Pretty soon I hope to start on the Millennium annotations.

All your favourites are there – kites, costumes, jigsaw puzzles, jams and even a Colgate-Palmolive Soaky.

What the hell’s that? I hear you cry.

Superman bubble bath:

Top that, Bendis!
