The Walking Dead “All Out War” #115-120

  • by Levi Hunt
  • February 3, 2014

A beautifully drawn story that bares little resemblance to what this series once was. The Walking Dead #100 was promised as a game-changing issue for the months leading up to it….

Zero #5

  • by Levi Hunt
  • January 20, 2014

Not at all your typical spy story I was very resistant to Zero when the book first came out. I’m not generally a fan of spy/war/unflappable-badass-super-killer fiction. The cold, calculating nature of…

The Fox #3

  • by Levi Hunt
  • January 14, 2014
