Re: Discuss Your Comic Purchases
Looks really good. I believe Moonstone launched a new Spider title within the last 12 months or so. Dynamite isn't afraid to come out with a public domain title shortly after another publisher has done so with the same title. I've seen them do it before. Maybe Dynamite's was in the works already when the other publisher announced theirs. Maybe not.Brother Darque wrote:and here's a commentairy on issue 1 of the spider from the writer david liss.
