This post is illustrated with fan art by Scott Ngo, check…
DetailsFor this week’s RETRO REVIEW, I’m looking at the two issue series; The Incredible Hulk: Future Imperfect that was published by Marvel Comics. The first issue is dated December 1992 and the second issue is dated January 1993. Or are they? My copies were bought fresh off the comic book rack when they came out and…
DetailsWelcome back to Strange Times & Places, where we’re looking at a mutant-centric story in honor of The Gifted’s season finale last night – Chris Claremont’s X-Men Forever. How’s It Different?
