Phil’s Reviews — Stuff I Bought #238

Posted on December 22, 2012 by Phil

OK, people, there were a ton of decent books this week — a holiday bounty partly because there will be only a handful for next week (although Amazing Spider-Man #700, and Avenging Spider-Man #15.1, the next chapter in the story after that, will both be out) — so let’s get to them.
