Superhero Week: Mike Mahle’s Justice League Series
Mike Mahle draws superheroes and sirens with bold colours and brave lines. It’s a style I adore and so encourage you to stalk his Facebook and admire his Deviant Art.

My favourite might well be […]

Imagine being told that you’re rapidly developing superpowers but that the process will kill you in about six months. How would you live? That’s the premise to Monty Nero and Mike Dowling’s Death Sentence. In Nero’s world the G+ Virus (nothing to do with Google Plus) is a fact of life. It’s a sexually transmitted […]
