Review Roundup: “Lazarus #5″, “Drumhellar #2″, “Alex + Ada #2″

It was a busy week here on Capeless Crusader! Our crack team of writers had some serious opinions on a wide range of titles!

Alex Smith

“Alex + Ada #2″

The characters of Alex + Ada aren’t as well developed as of yet, but issue #2 definitely improves in that regard.
