Comic Stack 06/17/15: GraphicAudio Review: Civil War by Stuart Moore

Posted on June 17, 2015 3 Comments

Civil War was one of those crossover comics that made me want to bite my tongue. I’m not a huge fan of these Marvel crossovers where they pit heroes against one another because Marvel doesn’t seem capable of finding a resolution that doesn’t involve a bigger threat causing the heroes to kiss and make up […]

Today’s comic stack actually features a review for a graphic novel I’ve been eagerly awaiting.

I have a confession. I have a ton of first issues of comics. I’m not even joking about this. While I enjoy reading and reviewing comics, I’m not one that likes to review every single issue of a comic, especially if I lose interest and quit the series. I prefer to review volumed editions for that […]
