Mark Millar’s Old Man Logan Holy Shit.. that was violent. I know, I should have expected that from the man who brought us Kick-Ass but I guess I just wasn’t prepared for it. I even read Stephen’s excellent review which doesn’t play down or ignore the violence either. So, still.. why did this shock me? Maybe it…
Max Phillips’s Fade to Blonde Former boxer and current odd-jobber Ray Corson is enlisted by damsel in distress, Rebecca LaFontaine, to shake off some unwanted attention.

The Freakangels not only discover new powers as well as enhancements of existing ones but a major ability is revealed. Getting this far into the series,…
Warren Ellis’ Freakangels Vol. 4 So after that pretty awesome cliffhanger in Volume 3, the 4th book opens with.. a flashback!
