T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents #5 – Review

Posted on March 27, 2012 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Too many to list—check out the review. The Story: Apparently, even a simple question of “dead or alive” has no straight answers.

T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents #3 – Review

Posted on January 24, 2012 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Too many to list—check out the review. The Story: For taphophobes, consider this immersion therapy; you’ll feel better if you don’t die. The Review: I must say, I was rather amused by the tagline inscribed on this issue’s cover: “NoMan’s dark secret revealed!”  For one thing, the tease is horribly melodramatic—italics have that effect [...]
