Cave Carson Has A Cybernetic Eye #9 DC Comics Young Animals If I ever get the opportunity to meet Jon Rivera and Gerard Way, I want to ask them about the conception of this story.

This is a madcap chase through dimensions that … Read more Reviews for Jun 14, 2017I would have loved to have sat in on this book’s planning session!

Maybe its the revelation of any puzzle piece in the return of … Read more Doc’s Reviews for 5-16-17

3 brand spanking new reviews this week, with mostly Annuals from DC Comics and a fairly small new release week all around… ADAM STRANGE/FUTURE QUEST #1 Chapter 2 of the big “What the…” Week!
