Metamorpho: Written and Pencils by Aaron Lopresti
Sugar and Spike: Written by Keith Giffen, Art by Bilquis Evely
Metal Men: Written by Len Wein, Pencils by Yildiray Cinar

A long time ago I lamented the fact that, when DC’s New 52 came out, I had failed to read their anthology book DC Universe Presents. So when DC’s newest anthology book came out, I decided to put my money where my mouth was and pick up Legends of Tomorrow. Continue reading →
