Future State: Shazam #2 review

Ever had one of those weeks when there really are no comics you fancy?

Supergirl #28 review

With Supergirl and the Omega Men out to bring him down, space scumbag Harry Hokum decides to send in the clones. Imperfect duplicates of Supergirl possessing part of her powers.
