by Leave a Comment

X-Force #10 finds the mutant covert ops team deep in the heart of Terra Verde, where their sentient plant techno life has captured complete control of the nation, and is threatening to expand.

Likewise, the page was the 28th most searched landing page throughout the month, with an encouraging number of searchers looking for “black comic book artists/writers.” [Read more…] about Supporting Black Creators (Follow-Up)
