Tales from the Short Box

This week we continue our Ram V double feature with These Savage Shores with art by Kumit Sumar and color by Vittorio Astone. It's the book that made Ram a household name and with very good reason! It's a five issue epic about how colonialism creates monsters of us all.

If it's Wednesday, it's time for another episode of Last Week's Comics! Join us as we ponder the deep mysteries of the universe. What is Gritty's sheet cake budget? How fast can someone get in and out of a skin tight cat suit? Where do all the bad Garys go? Tune in and find out!
