The Last Days of American Crime (2 of 3)
By: Rick Remender and Greg Tocchini The Last Days of American Crime is an incredibly suspense-filled criminal comic. The warning on the cover does not lie, “Mature Readers” only please.

Bomb Queen II: Dirty Bomb

I LOVE the storyline, setting, and premise of Bomb Queen’s [...]
Chew #9
By: John Layman and Rob Guillory Shivers of disgust ricocheted across my back as I contemplated the possibility of Tony Chu eating a diaper full of baby poop.
