Vanish #5

VANISH #5 is the return of Ryan Stegman & Donny Cates' new age superhero fantasy, continuing the story that started in issue #1 more so than paving the way forward with a new arc.

I hope that tradition continues in future issues, because not everything about the '90s needs to be replicated. Read Full Review

This series just got a lot darker than it already was. I'm so into this.
