HEROES IN CRISIS #8 DC COMICS That thudding noise you hear is the sound of my forehead bouncing off the wall over and over and over again!

THE FLASH #67 DC COMICS Writer Joshua Williamson does what I thought I might never see again. His reintroduction of the Trickster (the official James Jesse version) actually reads like a 1970’s issue of the Flash! And I for one couldn’t be happier. While Barry feels his speed fading in the hunt for … Read more Doc’s Reviews for the Week of March 19, 2019
AVENGERS NO ROAD HOME #6 MARVEL COMICS As if it wasn’t enough to have Marvel flooding the stands with new Conan titles, we now have an Avengers/Conan crossover.
