Yay X-Men Shojo !!! 0
When I first heard that a manga reimagining of the X-Men and Wolverine were coming out I was very excited and so far I am very happy with the final product.

Many of the super heroes do resemble more mainstream well known heroes like Superman, Batman...

A Brother in Arms 1
(This is my first review so try to keep the angry mobs with pitchforks and torches to a minimum) The Theater of War one shots have been incredible. In this installment of the series, A Brother in Arms, the stellar writing by Paul Jenkins really works well with the art of John McCrea. These days stories of wars gone by are few and far between and most of them can not hold a candle to stories many of us grew up with in the pages of titles like Star Spangled War Stories, Our Army at War, and even ...
