Dual Review: Black Hammer #1 and Captain Kid #1
Dueling Review If you caught the little nuance between the link and the actual post title you'll see how I cleverly disguised the nature of this review, it's both a review of Dark Horse's Black Hammer #1 and the freshman Aftershock's Captain Kid #1 while also having them clash in some epic battle of indie publishers, if you can even really call Dark Horse indie … [Read more...]
