That’s one skinny ankle on that back foot! I wonder how boring Bags found these covers. I dunno, maybe it was a relief to just be able to crank out a random…

USM 040
These issue titles are getting really weird. Is the damage to the spine of this issue obvious from the picture? These covers got so flimsy when they changed from cardstock. We open…
USM 039
Our boy’s been through an emotional ringer lately. Will things pick up now that he’s getting ready to shoot a hadoken? This is a weird cover. We open on General Nick Fury,…
