Notorious Crackpot

It's been a rough week. But seeing these reviews pop-up has been a tremendous help. This is all from the website: The Brave and the Old - a fan website dedicated to all-ages comics where the reviewers are primarily children. Awesome to see. Here's the first part of the interview . Here's a review of issue #1 . Here's a review of issue #2. And here's a review of issue 3.
