REVIEWS

Boosterrific Review: So far as concluding chapters go... this is not great. Even the art looks rushed. Blech. Actually, the more that I think about it, the less I like it. As is usual for a Tom King story, the pieces never quite come together. Maybe 2 stars is too generous. I'm going to go have a drink and try to pretend this didn't happen.
