Posted on December 7, 2010 by dfstell

Dean’s Drive-by Reviews

Posted on November 9, 2010 by dfstell

My pull list is way too long, so every week there are at least a few comics that I read that didn’t get a feature review from me or my colleagues here at WCBR.  Nonetheless, they deserve some kudos (or a warning sign) as a service to our loyal readers. Strange Tales II #2 – [...]

Posted on February 21, 2008 by Deamentia

By Matt Fraction (writer), Russ Heath, Nick Drgotta, Mike Allred, Laura Allred, Lewis LaRosa, Stefano Gaudiano, Matt Hollingsworth, Mitch Breitweiser (artists) What a wonderful book.
