It’s a brand new creator owned series written by Kieron Gillen! This is something that should be cause for celebration after his work on titles like “Phonogram,” “The Wicked + The Divine,” and “Once & Future.” Yes, there was also “Die” but that was a case of being Not Bad rather than Actively Terrible.

Adventureman was once the greatest hero of his time. He and the likes of The Gentleman, Ace Aviatrix Sally Sweet, Phaedra Phantom, The Gentleman, and more had protected our world from the likes of Baron Bizarre and his henchman until they didn’t. At least, that’s what the books read by Claire Connell and her son […]

Then they found out firsthand just how little pity this city has for those who waltz into it unprepared. Particularly when one of their own, Le Majeur, is just itching to settle scores […]
Above-the-Board Recommendation(s): Transformers vol. 3: Combiner Chaos & Void Rivals vol. 3: The Key to Vector Theta Both of the Energon Universe titles that John and I read are getting new volumes in this round of solicitations.
