Posted on January 27, 2017 by Phil

Let’s be different and start with the non-Marvel and DC books this week; they’ve often got the most energetic and individual storytelling, and somehow always float to the top of my reading stack anyway… Saga #42 — Writer: Brian K. Vaughan;  Art/Colors: Fiona Staples Hillbilly #5 — Creator: Eric Powell Hellboy Winter Special #1 (of 1) — Writers: Mike Mignola, Chris Roberson and Scott Allie;  Art: Christopher Mitten, Paul Grist and Sebastian Fiumara;  Colors: Dave Stewart and Bill Crabtree She-Wolf #5 — Creator: Rich Tommaso Rick and Morty #22 — Writer: Kyle Starks;  Art: CJ Cannon;  Colors: Katy Farina Lumberjanes #34 … Continue reading →
