But I think Gabby is still a clone of Laura (I think?), which is weird since her claws and powers (she doesn’t feel pain) are different from Laura’s. Maybe not as big a deal as we’re thinking.

I remember when they brought Sync back, there was a data page talking about his troubles fitting in after being dead so long, and now he’s lived lifetimes in the Vault. Couple that with the dynamic of spending those lifetimes with Laura, which she doesn’t remember,…Read more

No one before or since has done the Surfer justice.

I miss that series. It was my first subscription, just based on the advertisement alone. He looked so cool.

The first two issues were really good, but the ultimate conclusion was a bit meh. Even worse that so much of this mirrors what just went down in Joker War. Maybe it’s time for Johns to go over to Marvel, because with this, he’s pretty much hit everyone at DC, and he’s out of gas.

The story in Stormwatch 25 led to this. Two of these characters made it to Ellis’ Stormwatch, and only one made it to the Authority. I miss Sword Guy and Captain Obviously Native American.

I don’t remember the men who put together Stormwatch 22-24, but they are unsung heroes.

This book is targeted right at me, though: all wrapped around the Mutant Massacre/Inferno era. Looking forward to more whenever.

I feel like we need some of those good Krakoan pharmaceuticals right now.

It’s a good, simple western set in space. It’s an adventure/genre show that the whole family can enjoy together – something that’s a complete rarity these days.

Fallen Angels has art that’s so stylized and bad it’s hard to follow. Marauders is best in class – entertaining and the one I look forward to every time it comes.
