Review: Liberator #1

By | Jun 27, 2013 | Reviews

Like a lot of readers, we kind of missed the boat on this title when it came out last week – it’s not available digitally, and not everybody’s LCS was stocking it. This, of course, is what re-ordering is for, and if straightforward vigilante action is your cup of tea, it looks like you will […]

Review: Ten Grand #2

By | Jun 6, 2013 | Reviews

The first issue of this series about a former mob enforcer turned the ultimate variety of legit (he died, and now works for an angel) was eye-catching but a little uneven.

We’ve reached the penultimate issue of this altogether unusual series centering on a boarding school for young assassins, and while things are for the most part keeping to a high standard, it’s not exactly smooth going either.
