MY TWO CENTS: Dynamite comics unleashes 2 great things this month. The continuous saga of Kirby: Genesis with cover and interior art by Alex Ross and Jack Herbert and the launching Bionic Man series by Kevin Smith. Here's hoping Alex stays on the Bionic Man doing covers for Smith's run like he did on the Green Hornet and Last Phantom. Also the last issue of Rocketeer adventures comes with a cover by original creator Dave Stevens painted over by Alex in which you can actually see the rocketeers face, sweet!
