The Pullbox got started in May 2007 and exploded out of a love for comics and all things Geek. Our goal is to share information about the great comic gems out there that you aren’t reading and perhaps save you some of your hard earned cash by warning you about the comics not worth their ink.
The Pullbox is spear-headed by Eric and Greg.
Eric: I am a husband, father of four, high school Math teacher and have been in the comic scene for 25 years. I enjoy an intelligent story, from drama to horror… if it’s a great story, I want to read it. I am an avid Fantastic Four fan. I can get obsessive about such things as Star Trek, Doctor Who, Fringe, Battlestar Galactica and Heroes. Thankfully, my wife puts up with it all
Please don’t be afraid to drop a comment and I hope to meet you out on the convention circuit.
Greg: I was raised by a community of field mice in the remote Wisconsin woods. In 1978. I was found by a wildlife researcher who brought me to civilization and taught me the ways of the modern world. During my accelerated education, it was discovered that my brain responded very well to the illustrations coupled with text that his found in graphic novels and comic books. I quickly became a fan of Superman, the Justice League, Green Lantern, Thor, Hulk, and other costumed do-gooders. I also became a fan of the all things fantasy, science fiction, mystery, comedy, suspense, and just about any other genre. This is also about the time I discovered the world of gaming. The research data did show that I have an aversion to unnecessary gore. Redder is not always better. If the gore is wrapped in a good story, then it’s okay.
Shortly after I was released into society, I became a high school teacher, father of 2, pet owner, and all around productive member of society. I’ve been enjoying all things geek for close to 20 years now and am now making the jump into the world of inter-web.
Enjoy!

Chris: Absolutely none of you know, I run a comic book store called Kowabunga Comics in a wee Midwestern town named Oconomowoc. The only thing I feel I need to mention before I begin is there is going to be a tendency I suspect for me to sound like one of those grumpy, old, cynical comic book store owners who is never satisfied and can’t be pleased. But that simply isn’t the case. Well, at least, I mean, I’m not grumpy.
There’s a lot of crap out there, and a lot of good stuff, there’ll some crappy stuff I like for god only knows why he wired my brain as he did. And occasionally, there’s great stuff. So, I’m not cynical, I’ve just read a lot. I think the medium is awesome and elegant, and I can’t stand to see it deteriorate into something …well crappy. I think the medium should be moving forward and all too often because of market pressures, it compromises itself.
The other thing that bothers me about reviews, since I’ll probably be complaining a lot, is if I think I know so damn much, why am I not out there trying to do a better job. And the answer to that is simple…um…yeah. So, see there. I don’t have an answer for that, whatever I say, and however I whine about what’s out there, at least these creators have done something with their ideas, at least they are doing something. That is a great accomplishment no matter what, and it’s a greater accomplishment than sitting here writing this review in between eating HoHo’s
