Futures End #48 review

Looking back to my review of Free Comic Book Day offering Futures End #0, I was really looking forward to seeing where the book went after such a strong start. And the answer is, all over the place. It’s been the Lombard Street of comics, turning on a dime. There have been some great moments […]

Superman #709 review

As I do recall speculating last time, while Marvin is dog food, Wendy survives (likely to become a new member as some […]
