    Weird Science - Dan Mayhoff Nov 28, 2018

    Despite being better than the previous issue, this book continues to move forward in the most confusing and frustrating way possible. At least some things happen in this book and we get more information that we've been craving for about the new forces. Hopefully it gets better in the next issue. Read Full Review
