    Michael May, April 10, 2013 | Manga, Reviews

    Pokémon the Movie: Kyurem vs. the Sword of Justice By Momota Inoue Viz Kids; $9.99 Understanding that “all-ages” and “for kids” aren’t synonymous terms, I have a low tolerance for kids’ entertainment.

    Roundtable: Superman Family Adventures RIP

    Michael May, January 23, 2013 | All Ages, Roundtables

    The cancellation of Superman Family Adventures, yet another critically-praised superhero comic that DC won’t be publishing anymore, has us pretty riled up.

Green, Kel McDonald, Joe Pimenta, Katie and Shaggy Shanahan, and Lin Visel Self-published; available from the book’s website Anthologies can be as tricky as Rumpelstiltskin.
