I blame New York Comic Con for stealing my life. I was perfectly fine to sit back and enjoy watching my favorite superheroes use their powers to fight evil on the big screen. A great weekend to me meant treating myself to some quality binge watching. Game of Thrones, Daredevil, Arrow, Agents of Shield, to name a few, always worked to help unwind.
