Comic Book Review – Autumnlands: Tooth & Claw #4
Zeb Larson reviews Autumnlands: Tooth & Claw #4… With the Great Champion away, the city is vulnerable to Goodfoot’s machinations. Autumnlands has really jelled as a series, especially now that Dunstan had a regular role in each issue. It’s interesting because not a whole lot really happens in this issue in terms of action. We’re […]
