Review: ‘Scales & Scoundrels Vol.1: Into the Dragon’s Maw’
Scales & Scoundrels Vol. 1: Into the Dragon’s Maw Writer: Sebastian Girner Artist: Galaad Image Comics; $9.99 Rated E for Everyone If Scales & Scoundrels‘ alliterative two-word title with an ampersand reminds you of a particular tabletop role-playing game, that’s more than likely intentional.

Review: ‘Be A Star, Wonder Woman’
Be A Star, Wonder Woman Writer: Michael Dahl Artist: Omar Lozano Picture Window Books; $15.95 Yes, the name of the blog is Good Comics For Kids, and this is a picture book rather than a comic, but I think we can all agree that the fact that this stars comic book superhero Wonder Woman puts […]
