Al Ewing is pretty good at this space stuff. Fitting then that he introduces the X-Men’s long time ally, the Shi’ar, to Arakko. There speaks the voice of Sol, the goddess, Storm. Sadly, Storm is busy with what she is always busy with, doing a duel with fools who think they can step to her….

There are many ways to describe Batman. Superhero. Martial Artist. Scientist. Adventurer. But for your hosts, Matt & Will, one beats all the rest: Detective. This week, we look at three stories that have a theme of Batman as the Dark Knight Detective. Blades (Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #32-34) The Doomsday Book (Detective…
