Being a large Garth Ennis fan, I would love to hear about Mr. Castle doling out some justice that only seems right coming from him.
If I could vote for a second, I would go Tokyo Ghost, only because it sounds and looks cool.
Personally, I would love for you to review “The Universo Project” from the Levitz Legion of the late 80’s. Please place that on the stack Matthew or play a Game of “Slappy Says”
While I love Tokyo Ghost, I would love to hear everyone’s take on Nextwave. I believe it to be present day Marvel before Marvel got here on their own.
Nextwave, it’s such a fun comic book series that makes light of most if not all comic book tropes.
It’s funny how it was never meant to be in main Marvel continuity but was so popular they made it canon.
Punisher Max: Slavers, while I did like the Max run of Punisher as a whole some arcs were painful to read, specially when you realize the themes of some happen in real life, like this one, it stick with you for a while…
You know it’s bad when the Punisher, mister I have no more feelings left it’s all about the mission, actively *HATES* these guys.
