Enter the Heroic Age #1 Review

Wow, that's a very long list of creators in the font page, but Enter the Heroic Age #1 is an anthology. Five sets of creators have 8 pages to sell their wares and interest you in their respective series that launch or relaunch amidst Marvel's thematic change to the Heroic Age.

Shadowhawk #1 Review

Almost five years ago to the day the Shadowhawk was relaunched with Eddie Collins at the helm, a young character, of an age similar to that of Mark 'Invincible' Grayson.
