Spider-Man: Life Story seemed like such a great idea on paper, but instead it’s a depressing tragedy, like this version of Peter Parker’s life.
Domino: Hotshots #4 // Review
Seven heroes of varying moral alignment, a handful of Iron Man drones, one artifact infecting people with a strange “virus,” and an infected scientist. Mix in distrust between team members and leadership disputes and get a recipe for chaos at best, and total disaster at worst.
