If the art in the last post gave lie to the claim that these books would be illustrated by “top talent,” it is utterly obliterated in this one. This book looks horrendous….

Mark Bagley didn’t achieve the lunatic furor from fans the Image guys had when he came on the scene around the same time, in spite of a more than passing similarity to…
TAC 223
The folks who make Web of Spider-Man must’ve felt ripped off to be the only title that didn’t get a fancy cover. This one makes no sense at all. In this period,…
