Action Comics #900 – Review

By: Too many to list—check out the review. The Story: Lex Luthor is about to bring fun, love, and joy to all the people of the universe—the crazy part is I am being totally serious right now.

Supergirl #35 – Capsule Review

By Sterling Gates (story), Jamal Igle (pencils), Keith Champagne (inks), Nei Ruffino (colors) This book is somewhat of a mixed bag for me.
