My ups and Downs with the ’24 Super Bowl commercials…
As promised, my favorite Super Bowl commercials for ’24, or at least the ones that really impressed, or made a good impression on me. but first, I’ll touch on things that didn’t really work for me, or left me a bit “blah”.

Each month, the cowled character featured in Batman, Detective comics, Batman Family, Justice League of America, World’s Finest with Superman, and The Brave & TheContinue reading “Brave & The Bold #115 – “The Corpse That Wouldn’t DIE””
