I mentioned on SM 88 that when I see that cover, I think a different comic is inside. It’s this one. Both books are standoffs between Peter & Norman by the same…

Perhaps he can’t handle the truth. What truth, you ask? Must be a big one, The Watcher is here. Watching colorists figure out Photoshop is really something. Kind of oppressive on that…

As we open part 2 of the Dusk saga, Trapster has been visited by a gang of assassins called The Waiters, who all dress like waiters. This is pretty funny, kind of…
