Buford Cabrera by Kristin

Buford has been at the same Red Bank stand for 15 years.

“I’ve only missed four or five days out of my 15 year. My son got married one of those and I was sick the other days.” He quickly became a fixture in Red Bank and has built up a group of regulars who visit him weekly. He doesn't know many of them by name, but he recognizes their automobiles and faces instantly and he loves interacting with pets that are with their owners in the car. His all-time sales record was 200 papers in one day and 46 papers in a single hour.            

     Cabrera began selling newspapers in 1999, he saw an advertisement for the job and decided that he needed some additional income to supplement his part-time career as the dairy manager at Bi-Lo."I never sold papers when I was was young. I waited until I retired to become a newspaper man," Cabrera said.

DC Vs. Marvel by Robyn

     Marvel and DC are both companies that make comic books and now they are being made into movies. Some examples would be The Amazing Spider Man from Marvel and Man Of Steel from DC. One thing that makes it such a debate is that people usually only like one or the other but not both. A well trusted source once told me “It’s a choice we all must make.” This article is to help you decide which side you want to join. Just remember as Voltaire once said,  "With great power comes great responsibility". So choose wisely and whatever you decide remember that not every one will agree with you.

    Let’s start with DC Comics. DC stands for Detective Comics which featured Batman’s debut. First off let’s name some of DC's superheroes: Superman, Batman, Raven, Wonder Woman, Aqua Man, Nightwing, and so on. Now they couldn't be heroes without villains so here's a few examples: Joker, Poison Ivy ,Harley Quinn , Riddler, and so on. One pro of DC is that their cities are fictional so they can make the cities really unique.They can do whatever they want with the city. Another pro is their superheroes like Batman and Superman are well known. The first con is they rebooted a couple of times and changed stuff around. The second con is they are repetitive with the use of characters from the Batman family.

     Now it's time to talk about Marvel Comics. First let's name some Marvel superheroes: Spider-man, Black Widow, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Wolverine, Captain America, and so on. Some of those villains who make superheroes' lives just a little harder include Red Scull, Magneto, Loki, Sandman, and Venom.  The first con for Marvel is that a lot of their stories take place in the real city of New York so they don't have as much creative freedom with the stories. The next con of Marvel is they don't have that many sidekicks. A pro of Marvel is their characters are more complex yet easier to relate to. The last pro is that most people know more about Marvel than DC. I hope this helps you with your decision. These are just some peoples' opinions, so you should read some Marvel or DC comics and form your own opinion on why one is better than the other.
