Havok makes his Red/White/Blu-ray debut

The X-Men’s Havok has long been my favorite comic book superhero. In fact, we’ve even set up a fan site for him here at MLD.

Re-Enter, the Man Called Havok!

Alex Summers, also known as Havok, is arguably my favorite character from Marvel’s X-Men comic books.

My Latest Pull List – September 18th, 2013

Seven new books on my list this Wednesday. BATMAN #23.3 PENGUIN – I cannot keep up with DC’s Villains Month, but I’m not going to pass up a Frank Tieri Penguin story.
