Downtown Comics is one of the Midwest's largest comic retailers with over four locations in Indianapolis. All opinions are his own, and they cannot be bought with free swag. Beer and a walk on role on Chuck to steal Sarah from Chuck and I'm bought...
It's a quick one this week, but here are my quick thoughts on last week's Spider-Man One More Day issue. The art was a MAJOR step in improvement. Joe Q really ought to be proud of how it came out. It's still inexcusable for how long it took to come out and the story is still horrid, but the art was indeed excellent and truly a marked improvement over the first two parts. Enough of me griping...let's get into it....
