Gotham Central Vol. 4

Gotham Central Vol. 4 *** Potential Spoilers Below*** Gotham Central is by far, my favorite complete comic/graphic novel series I’ve read to date (However, Locke and Key isn’t finished yet and that’s nipping at it’s heels).

The Stand: American Nightmares

The Stand: American Nightmares Picking up where part one left off, American Nightmares further showcases the already established characters dealing with the aftermath of Captain Trips while still introducing new players in the story.
