Did I really pay $3.50 for this raggedy thing? I have the vaguest memory of buying this issue. I feel like I got it in college. Why, I couldn’t begin to say,…

ASM 284
Man, I thought I’d never actually get here. If I’d realized how much filler there was in this section, I would’ve probably held the last couple ASMs from the previous block for…
TAC 130
Well here’s the most unorthodox thing I’ve ever done on the blog. We’re seeing this issue before TAC 128 & 129. Because for some reason, this issue takes place before Gang War…

WEB 026
Charles Vess! Always a treat. This month in ASM, the big Gang War story is coming to an end, so maybe this is the last weird issue trying to avoid it for…
