The Mad Monk lands on Ellis Island and America is changed forever.
If you're not already reading Rasputin, get on it. It's a haunting, personal tale of struggle and woe with clever writing, beautiful storytelling and some of the best art you can find for $4 a month. Yes, it's good. Read Full Review

This is the most disappointing issue of Rasputin yet. Read Full Review
