Another week down, and we're half way through Month One on Toybox - here's a round-up of our best material from the past 7 days.
After a strong first week, it's with amazing surprise that I can say that half way to October, Toybox has seen a fantastic 255k US Uniques so far, 153k of that from this week alone. Nearly there for the September target of 300k already! It turns out you guys really like Comic books and Star Wars. Who'da thought it? Once again, thank you all so much for your support so far.
Comics and Star Wars might have been the highlights of Week 2, but there's been plenty else going on - We took a look at the universe behind Destiny, saw some fantastic Brienne Cosplay (I seriously still cannot get over how good that was), were baffled by Japanese Batman, and still had time to ask if genre storytellers could knock it down a few notches. This was the week that was in Pop Culture!
The Best of The Best
A veritable handful of Toybox's features and biggest stories of the week.
