Heroes Never Rust #51: We3 gud. Gud dog. Home now.
Heroes Never Rust #51 by Sean Ironman We3 gud. Gud dog. Home now. The final issue of We3 is bloody and violent and heartwarming. It’s a fitting end to the series that seems like it ended too quickly, but I guess there’s only so far a story about three animals in robot suits searching for… Continue reading

Heroes Never Rust #50: Bad Dog. Bad Dog.
Heroes Never Rust #50 by Sean Ironman Bad Dog. Bad Dog. The second issue of We3 picks up a few minutes after the premiere issue. The three animals run from military helicopters and jeeps.

In Boozo Veritas #50 by Teege Braune Divertissement with Kittens A man dreams, his visions, hopes, loves, anxieties all bubbling to surface of his unconscious mind with out logical transition, referents lost, his thoughts incoherent to himself.

Shakespearing #4: Henry VI, Part 3
Shakespearing #4 by David Foley Henry VI, Part 3 I imagine Henry VI, Part 3 must have been a rip-roaring experience for its original audience. The last part of the trilogy (or the third part of a tetralogy if you count Richard III) finds the War of the Roses in full swing. Battles, betrayals, blood.… Continue reading
