So. This issue just had some weird setup stuff happening. Not weird in that it was a weird place to have a lull in action, but weird in that people are frakked up in the head. Dude. I have a feeling things are about to get even more crazy than they had Read More

The first series to come out of EA Comics, Army of Two takes place in between the first and second video games of the same name. Overall, it's an entertaining start to a new series. It doesn't happen very often with me anymore, but this was definitely a Read More
