MythSpace: Black Mark | Comics Review
Apr 05
First off, allow me to extend my congratulations to writer Paolo Chikiamco and his team of awesome artists for sealing a publishing deal with Visprint Inc. That company has always been synonymous with high quality materials and I’m personally glad that they added MythSpace to their line.

Anyway, I’m thinking everyone has seen The Avengers by now....
American Born Chinese (Graphic Novel Review)

The book gives us three seemingly-separate (but interestingly-interrelated) tales about the frustrations of being different.
