For the first time in awhile, this era’s books are pretty close together. I skipped this month’s Web because it begins a multi-parter, previous post was this month’s TAC, and I did…

TAC 193
I like the rawness of this cover. Sal went a lot looser and more ragged and it looks cool. Wonder what prompted it. Time for some much-needed damage control. Good job, Pete-o….
TAC 192
This crow guy’s got Thor boots. I am so hostile toward this story that I’m not even gonna read all the prose slathered on every page. Sal Buscema has a reputation as…

WEB 092
I mean, one of them, from the look of things, unless the jumpin’ guy is a redesign of the caped guy from last time. Jimmy Palmiotti inks this one solo. We open…
