(Whosoever Holds This Hammer appears every Tuesday exclusively on comicbookdaily.com) Well my legions of fans, after a bit of a vacation last month I am pleased to announce that WHTH is back, and back with a vengeance. Due to rabid…
I was poking around the auction sites and noticed some very sporadic activity around the Star Wars #1 comic book. The regular edition (30 cent cover) of Star Wars #1 is a very popular book. The thing is also as…
Writer: Matt Fraction Artist: Whilce Portacio Inker: Ed Tadeo Colours: Brian Reber Letters: Joe Caramagna Cover: Terry and Rachel Dodson This is a story about a girl named Hope. We’re now a few issues into the first REAL X-Men arc…
