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 [...]

Posted on May 18, 2011 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Too many to list—check out the review. The Story: Most of the time, you say, “I’m gonna kill my mother” rhetorically.
