Wonder Woman #20
Boy howdy, are our heroes in for the fight of their lives or what? This issue marks the crossing of paths of Team Wondy and The First Born. It’s clear that Brian Azzarello has been setting up for this encounter [...]
Morning Glories – #26 and #27
Now that Morning Glories is a quarter of the way through its run, does anyone have a better idea as to what on Earth is going on in this crazy school? No? Yeah, me neither. As I caught up on [...]
C2E2 2013; Or How Exhaustion and Over-Excitement Nearly Brought About My Demise
