The Spirit #14 – Review

Posted on May 23, 2011 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Matthew Sturges (writer), Victor Ibáñez (artist), Ego (colorist) The Story: Make no mistake, kids: collecting comics pays!

Zatanna #12 – Review

Posted on April 26, 2011 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Matthew Sturges (writer), Stephane Roux (artist), John Kalisz (colorist) The Story: We all know Zatanna’s a wordplay geek, but this takes it to a whole new level.

House of Mystery #3 – Review

Posted on July 8, 2008 by Deamentia

By Matthew Sturges (writer), Luca Rossi and Zachary Baldus (artists), Lee Loughridge (colors) I’m still waiting for this book to make a left turn and become all “70s gothic-horror” on me.
