The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #1 By Dan!
Hey folks! With the new website running smoothly, we’ve decided to change things up just a little bit.

My Top Five (The five best comics of the week) Batman 701 Writer: Grant Morrison Artist: Tony Daniel Morrison’s Batman run has been one of the crazier things of the past couple years, which is no big surprise. Here he … Continue reading
