FF #1 Review "Parts of a Hole" Contrary to my popular belief, FF is not a new Fantastic Four from Marvel NOW!. It's in fact Reed's school for brilliant minds called the Future Foundation, not to be confused with Jean Grey School of Higher Learning. If you read the latest Fantastic Four #1, you'd know that Reed is falling apart from carcinomic growth, and if I wasn't lazy … [Read more...]

The New Shadowman from Valiant.

Voodoo and witchcraft I guess make the city a haven … [Read more...]
Moloch the Mystic #1 Review
