An all-too familiar story, done as a kind of tribute, apparently, with great Francavilla art.
Incredible Hercules #132
August 11th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Though not as good as everyone hyped it up to be, “Incredible Hercules” #132 has some funny moments and is a fun, enjoyable read.
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly #2
August 5th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett

Buck Rogers #1
June 9th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
The new adventures of "Buck Rogers" begin here. "Begin" is the operative word, as a great deal happens here without resolution.

Exiles #3

Zorro challenges Major Pasquale in an attempt to deliver justice and save his lady fair.

May 5th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
The best incarnation of "Exiles" yet brings the wit of Jeff Parker to the dimension-hopping team.
Sherlock Holmes #1
April 27th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
According to Dynamite’s press department, everyone loves “Sherlock Holmes” #1... except for this reviewer! It’s a slow, boring lead up to a fantastic cliffhanger ending.
