Action Comics #883 – By Greg Rucka, Eric Trautmann, and Pere Perez Action Comics is still good, but suffers slightly with the absence of Superman. Eric Trautmann comes aboard this issue as a co-writer, and brings [...]
This week’s Snapshots will, review by review, reduce into nothingness like that alien code in Independence Day. However rather than heralding impending space ray doom (unless you are a golden retriever) this will in fact just save me a bit of time. Or will it?

Every week (more or less) our devastatingly handsome comic reviewer Paul Duggan gives us the lowdown on comics that have inspired, amused, bored or downright annoyed him.
