Review: Brain Boy #2

By | Oct 18, 2013 | Reviews

Two issues down, “Brain Boy” is giving Dark Horse Comics its own take on the super human – a genre that the company isn’t known for dabbling in. There’s plenty of fun to be had, but it remains to be seen if “Brain Boy” adds anything to said genre that wasn’t there before or if […]

Review: Nowhere Men #6
