“Exiles” #12

By | Feb 1, 2019 | Reviews

The worst part of “Exiles” #12 is the last page where it ends. It was a fun issue and I was sad for it to be over, but it was also the last issue of the series and that’s a damn shame. If the joy that was Spiderverse taught us anything, it’s that dimension bending, […]
