I wish I had money for comics. I just saw that Superman series on Amazon and it sounds interesting; it’s definitely something I’d want to pick up later when all the issues come out. Michael Offutt was saying today that they’re ending the Krakoa thing with the X-Men so maybe that brood story goes into that.
And now Bucky is a bad guy again? [eye roll]
