Captain Marvel #16 – Deconnick/Van Meter/Oliffe
I’m not entirely sure where to start with Captain Marvel #16, and there’s two major contributors to the apathy I feel over it. The first is the art, and the second is Infinity. Overall, this issue is completely forgettable. While … Continue reading

Review: FF #10 – Matt Fraction & Mike Allred
I’m not entirely sure what I think about this issue. On the one hand it dares to go places most creative teams don’t – breaking down the barriers between the creator and the creation, by placing Fraction, Allred and editor … Continue reading
