Ed’s Early Evaluations #10 Welcome back friends! We’ve got a smaller collection of new titles this week, but don’t worry I’m sure there’s something here for everyone. From capes and tights to gritty re-imaginings and corporatized future shopping cities. I’d wax poetic a little longer but I’ve got a flight to catch in three hours and I haven’t even packed!

Ed’s Early Evaluations #4 Boy oh boy four weeks into reviewing and I can’t think of anything interesting to say for the opening blurb, so I guess I’ll take this moment to say “Thank You”. Thanks for reading, thanks for choosing Fantasium as your LCS, and thanks for being the best, you’ve made this the only job I’ve ever loved. Getting to know you all has been wonderful, whether we chatted over comics, music, games, movies or food recommendations. I gotta say it’s been a blast; I’ve seen incredible…
