Flashes of lightning surging across the atmosphere highlight the lucidity of the moon. The slow rumble of thunder that follows the dance of lightning quiets the already muffled sounds from the street below. The [...]

For every Marvel’s the Avengers or DC’s the Dark Knight that is released, it seems like we could be subjected to just as many Daredevils or Green Lanterns.
