When I saw that the comic at the top of my review queue was written by Mark Bertolini, I felt confident that I was in safe hands, and that this was going to be a quality comic I’d be reviewing. … Continue reading
REVIEW: American Vampire #33
I sometimes feel that American Vampire doesn’t always get the recognition it deserves. Oh, it’s hardly some criminally overlooked obscurity, given that the series has enjoyed critical acclaim and awards, and the graphic novels are regularly on best-seller lists. But … Continue reading
