ISSUE REVIEW

Boosterrific Review: This dark, emotionally draining comic book manages to perfectly describe the mood of tragic loss. While this may be a downer for the reader, it is absolutely appropriate for any comic book that features the funeral of a major supporting character.

Boosterrific Rating:

Worth Its Weight In Gold.
