About Us
Based out of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and originally formed in 2007 as a small page filled with nothing more than one fanatical fanboy’s ramblings and observations with the world of comics, Panels of Awesome now stands before you as a website filled with news, reviews, commentary and more all focusing on the world of comic books, comic book culture, movies and video games.
Whether it’s the action-packed panels of a comic book, freshly released video game or hot new movie, we’re here to tell you why it’s awesome.
If you have a comment on something you’ve read here on POA or a general question about the website please let us know or if you’d like to submit a tip, feel free to do so as well.
