Hickman is following that up with Wolverine: Revenge, a five-issue miniseries where, much like DOOM, he is letting artist Greg Capullo take…
Normally, as a true fan of The Big Lebowski, I hate the f*****g Eagles, man. Except in one instance: The 1985 soundtrack to the TV show Miami Vice. Nevermind that it was my mom’s favorite show at the time, or that it popularized Phil Collins’ “In the Air Tonight.” It also included two bangers from…
