Review: Halo: Initiation #1

By | Aug 16, 2013 | Reviews

Review: Suicide Squad #23

By | Aug 15, 2013 | Reviews

One part “Age of Ultron” aftermath, one part prelude to the next big Ultimate universe story (and possibly the end of said universe), “Hunger” is about as continuity driven as comics come. Nevertheless, Fialkov and Kirk deliver a first issue […]
