Conspiracy theories, violence in the halls of Congress, a White House coup… ain't comics fun?!

Look, I would never procure a sex trafficked minor from my rich friend whom I was photographed with 400 times. So I don't know how it works. But if one did, surely you would not campaign for the office of president on a pledge to release your rich friend's secret client list and email correspondence

Great review of Toxic Crusaders #2, in which the crew takes on an alien hedge fund manager, "cutting to the essence of modern economic/social decay."

I'm going to be the rambling old man at the socialist revolution continually introducing motions to exhume the corpses of the Bush administration to be put on trial like Pope Formosus. "This again..." Yes, this again! Grab a shovel, comrades. History cries out for justice.
