My Rating “Times Fade Away” An elderly man walks alone through the dark streets of Gotham City’s old Dutch district. He appears to be searching for something, although exactly what remains unclear.

The silver spear was easy to remove from the stone sarcophagus but getting it past the weird priest looking dudes armed with machine guns was
My Rating “What If They Threw a War and Everybody Came?” The war has begun, and sides have been chosen. The ancient forces of Order and Chaos have gathered their armies for a conflict that could shake the foundations of existence itself. Yet Jared Stevens, aka Fate, remains the one seemingly “untouchable” piece on their
