It’s. Finally. Here. “Kurosagi’s” return was originally announced back at Anime Expo in July 2019 with this fifth omnibus including the never-before-published vol. 15 set for March 2020, and a sixth omnibus of three new volumes to arrive later that year.

Boris Johnson may have screwed over a lot of Britons during his time as prime minister in real life, but he’s got nothing on his fictional counterpart in this series. That’s because the version of him in “Once & Future” managed to send everyone in his country to the fantasy realm of Otherworld where all […]
Under what conditions could the Eternals be made to utter the dread words of this volume’s subtitle? Perhaps if the Mad Titan became the new Prime Eternal in order to repair his body and destroy the Earth.

Tom King has written a lot of comics for DC, but he seems to have a particular affinity for the twelve-issue “maxiseries” format. Some of these have been great (“The Sheriff of Babylon,” “Mister Miracle”) One is quite overrated (“The Omega Men”) and another missed the mark (“Strange Adventures”).

It’s January 24th, 1991, in Medford, Pennsylvania, and three bodies have just found their way to the local coroner’s office. Detectives Dyer and Harvey have shown up to hear the coroner’s analysis of the bodies and causes of death for James Wells, Shane Wyatt, and Charles “Chuckie” Hayworth.
