Posted on November 13, 2011 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Scott Lobdell (writer), R.B. Silva (penciller), Rob Lean (inker), Richard & Tanya Horie (colorists) The Story: She’s melting—melting!

By: Scott Lobdell (writer), R.B. Silva (penciller), Rob Lean (inker), the Hories (colorists) The Story: Look on the bright side, Superboy—you could also be a monkey.

Flashpoint: The Outsider #2 – Review

Posted on July 22, 2011 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: James Robinson (writer), Javi Fernandez (artist), Rich & Tanya Horie (colorists) The Story: He’ll give you two choices: yes or yes.  Did I stutter?

By: Tony Bedard (writer), Claude St. Aubin (penciller), Scott Hanna (inker), Rich and Tanya Horie (colorists) The Story: The return of Starro the Conquerer!  Or, more technically, the return of the return of Starro the Conquerer!  By the way, it’s raining Czarnians.
