LEVIATHAN DAWN / FANTASTIC FOUR – GRIMM NOIR / THE PLUNGE / JEAN GREY & EMMA FROST [Comic Reviews]: Giant-Size Sunday Stash.

SILVER SURFER – BLACK / EVENT LEVIATHAN / SONATA / IGNITED [Comic Reviews]: Surf’s Up.

Okay, so Sandman In Space as illustrated by Tim Sale is a pretty good pitch for a book, but after this mini-series, it’s been done.
