Krul; Pencils: Geraldo Borges, Kevin Sharpe and Sergio Arino; Inks: Mario Alquiza and John Dell More editorially-inspired grief is piled on Our Hero Roy, absurdly so (fights with super-villainess ex-wives, a bionic arm that hurts and drips yellow goo, visions of his dead daughter, impotence), and before you know it he’s hitting up a street dealer for heroin (“China Cat,” he calls it, to show that he’s, like, in with the lingo), using a lighter to heat up a bunch of white powder on the top of … Continue reading →
