You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff
Aug 14, 2024The whole, the first issue is rather deft and gaining the interest of even someone who might not normally have been interested in the property. Casey is managing a really tightly woven mystery that immediately launches the series into really fascinating new directions. Things have changed a lot over the years. Explorers of the unknown aren't quite as popular in popular culture as they had been in the past. Casey knows what hes doing, though. The pulpy, intrepid adventures that have been going on in popular fiction for well over a century. Continue to be really appealing if they handled right. Read Full Review
