- #1September 29, 2017"Dark Horse Comics is a definite contender against the big well known DC and Marvel comic companies. Dark Horse is actually the largest independent comic companies. Sin city and hell boy were favorites of my brother growing up. I have to say I'm not much of a comic reader but I do appreciate a good marvel movie with Thor. When looking at Dark Horse comics website it's very user friendly, fast webpage, not all the thrills but colorful and efficient. It features all their work on their page in a drop down menu. Overall it looks like a great company with some classic comics but also going in the direction to create new."

Dark Horse Comics - #2September 29, 2017"This is a fantastic place to learn about the comics that fall under the legendary DC brand. I was very impressed to see a full line up of many of the comic-book characters I am familiar with - Superman, Scooby Doo, Looney Tunes, Justice Leage, as well as many, many others. This site has a wide ranging amount of information available people of many interest levels. I was very impressed by its design and layout and found it very interesting to peruse."

DC - #3March 31, 2018"I think the same to this person. The story is more than known, even, there are many adaptations, summarized novels, complete with illustrations. But I had not found a graphic novel that tells us about one of the most enigmatic monsters in horror literature, Frankenstein. Well, even if they know that the book has that monster title, it is not the real enemy in this story."

Frankenstein: The Graphic Novel - #4September 29, 2017"Fantagraphics provides access to comics in a variety of formats, from softcover graphic novels to newspaper collections to traditional comics. There's a great breadth of styles and topics represented, and old reprints are available. The publisher has a combination bookstore and gallery in Seattle and approaches comics as art and literature."
