WAR FOR EARTH-3 #2 DC COMICS Honestly, this is another example of a pointless waste of talent employed to accomplish nothing.

ROGUES #1 DC COMICS (BLACK LABEL) I could go on and on about how Flash’s Rogues Gallery is by far the best group of DC super-villian family. And I do not use the term family lightly. They have always been a family ever since they first starting appearing in Flash comics. They argued, they … Read more Maintaining the Adventure By Daniel Seib

It’s that time of year. As Summer begins to loom closer, now is an excellent opportunity to take a few moments and perform a simple self-examination. Taking the time to do this quick evaluation is of utmost importance, as catching this kind of thing early on is always preferable to waiting until it’s too late. … Read more Doc’s Reviews for the Week of 3/2/2022
WAR FOR EARTH-3 DC COMICS Even Ambush Bug’s wise acre comments can’t save this one. With an endless amount of potential and an endless list of contributors in both the art and writing, this one had a chance of being an excellent crossover.
