A lovely breakdown of most of DC's most famous heroines and the comic book covers that brought them to life. All of the current greats are represented and a lot of it is frames with historical aspects of their creation. A fantastic look at the evolut ...more

Like a lot of my favorite Hellboy stories, Hellboy finds himself in a weird pickle with bizarre entities, survives by either happenstance or punching, and finds himself going "Boy that was weird" afterwards. This is no exception. A nautical tale of h ...more

I'm a big fan of Daniel Warren Johnson's imagination and talent. While his art is a biiiiit messy for my liking sometimes, it more than makes up for it by being kinetic and alive. I was a big fan of this story about adventuring through the dreams of ...more
