DD looks sassy on this cover. I don’t think that’s the word you want for him. Well, it’s once again been 6 months since last issue. No matter what they thought after…

Secret War 4
Well, here we are, 6 months after last issue. Secret Wars started the same month as the Pulse. Pulse 6-10 are Secret War tie-ins. And now this book is so late that…
