David Goodman
David Goodman has been an ardent lover of comic books since he was 8 years old when his mother bought him his first Star Wars comic from the local pharmacy spinner rack. Since then, he has devoured literally thousands of pages of graphic literature, finding something to enjoy in almost every comic he reads. David is the creator and original writer of The Comic Roundup, Geekadelphia's weekly comic book review column, as well as an occasional contributor to the Zenescope Entertainment blog. In addition to comics, David also loves the Philadelphia 76ers and runs the website The Sixers Cave, his ode to all things Sixers, in what little spare time he has.
