A few months ago, when I stumbled onto a Facebook fanpage dedicated to "Merrick: The Sensational Elephant Man", an upcoming independent comicbook, I knew that's one title to keep an eye on. The few graphics and bits of information available made the comic seem very promising, and much more exciting than many of the titles currently on the stands. Today, issue #1 of Ward and Parker's "Merrick" is finally available, and I'm here to review it! (Read More)
