Oh man. You survived one week, but can you survive another? Here’s part 2 of 2 in the ongoing, “Somebody Please Bring Phil Back” Reviews. Let’s Do this dance! Ultimatum #3 (of 5) Writer: Jeph Loeb Artist: David Finch Jeph Loeb makes my whole body feel anger all at once. I was verbally angry while I read this, pretty consistently saying “UGH” out loud, like a bad Peanuts cartoon.

Green Arrow and Black Canary 18: Writer: Andrew Kreisberg Art: Mike Norton I am such a sucker for Robin Hood type characters.  Hawkeye mini-series coming soon?  I’m … Continue reading →
