This was a big one. The Webs tour! Inferno! MJ kidnapped! A block so busy including the werewolf drug lords felt like over kill. Todd McFarlane really getting cranking on changing the…

TAC 149
This is another one new to me. No concrete dates for Miles Warren. Probably for the best. This one starts off by revealing a not terribly secret secret. Yes, The Lobo Brothers,…
