“Quincredible” #1

By | Nov 30, 2018 | Reviews

As the newest book in Lion Forge’s Catalyst Prime shared universe, “Quincredible” #1 functions as a gateway into one of the coolest and most diverse self-contained mythos in comics or a standalone story.

“Middlewest” #1

By | Nov 23, 2018 | Reviews

When I first saw the solicit for “Middlewest,” I knew it was going to be in the very least interesting.

With “Middlewest,” Young proves that while his style is still particular […]
