The #NerdsRead Pull List – October 28, 2015
We’re pretty much in agreement here at Nerdophiles that Fight Club 2 might just be the worst comic of 2015… and yet we’re still reading this trainwreck to see it defy expectations of just how awful it can get every month. That being said, Arcadia continues to be one of the best […]

“I Hate Fairyland #1” Really Hates Fairytales & Suffers For It

DC and Marvel take on Continuity with Batman & Robin Eternal and Dr. Strange
Continuity is becoming an increasingly thorny concept in superhero comics.
