![]() Hopefully their forthcoming motivation will be more clear going forward in the tale. With dark fireside chats, the villains are finally starting to surface in this installment of the story. More importantly, this book serves as an excuse to introduce readers to people like Vampirella, Green Hornet, Kado, and tease at a whole bunch of other people in the Dynamite line that could come out of nowhere. With all of the different assassins after Magna Spadarossa, the heroine must team up with the different heroes of the city to escape certain death. The novelty of seeing which hero is in which position is still very present in this tale, as author Bill Willingham so wonderfully plays on our expectations of what this story is actually going to be throughout this saga. This installment spends a bit too much time on action sequences, but still retains the unique characterization that set things into motion very nicely. It also featured a bunch of interesting characters, yet still managed to introduce everything with a well crafted and brisk pace. ![]() ![]() The first issue of Legenderry got the story moving along nicely. ![]()

If you haven’t seen it, it’s a documentary about how Billy McFarland scammed people into buying tickets to a bougie music festival that turned out to be a total dumpster fire. And yet, Hulu’s Fyre Fraud made me question myself. I’ve always considered myself a lover, not a fighter. ![]() ![]() Please copy, fill out the form below, and email it to to suggest a change.
