I mean, finally. The old codger hanging around only gets more and more ridiculous. We have already seen the 90s attempt to make him young fail even though we haven’t seen it…

DD 306
She doesn’t like logos. It’s a war on logos. Bud La Rosa on inks and Nel Yomtov on colors this time as the boys find Spidey’s tracer pinned to the floor by…
DD 305
Daredevil! We may not have actually seen DD 300, where he took down The Kingpin “once and for all” (for a little while), but we’re here for… what certainly looks like a…
