This Week’s Press Highlights
Praise for Black River “Black River, unlike the many other post-apocalyptic stories, doesn’t give its reader the satisfaction of a glimmer of hope. Nothing is going to get better.

Hip Hop Family Tree Drops Monthly! “Marvel at hip-hop greatness.” Read more at MTV.com “Though hip-hop and comic book culture have often borrowed from one another, there has been relatively little in the way of direct intersections. Other than one-issue takeovers of existing series, the worlds have remained, for the most part, mutually exclusive.
