Review: Satellite Sam #2

By | Aug 9, 2013 | Reviews

With Howard Chaykin in tow, the ubiquitous Matt Fraction is writing a musky period book that’s like nothing else he’s ever written. Chaykin, always a great choice for drawing square-jawed men, beautiful dames, and seedy secrets, seems to be revitalized by it. There’s no two ways about it – “Satellite Sam” is two great pros […]

By | Jul 25, 2013 | Reviews

‘Superior Spider-Month’ rolls on by re-introduing the “Marvel Team-Up” brand, which has traditionally always been basically a Spider-Man title. Does Spidey’s “Superior” form capture the same sense of unlikely fun that the “Team-Up” title was known for?
