About a month ago the series wrapped up with issue 60, and besides catching about 20 issues of the series, it wasn't until a few days ago when I finished wrapping up this modern classic. As I turned to the last page of issue 60 I felt my heart literally crack in half.

One of the many reasons I haven't posted is because in the last two or three month not one ounce of good music has come out.

Vaughn and Tony Harris Brian K. Vaughn is single handily ruining comics for me. Whether it’s Ex Machina, Y: The Last Man, Escapists, Pride of Baghdad, or even his work at Marvel on the stand out Dr. Strange mini, The Oath, Vaughn’s mastery of the comic medium is unrivaled in today’s market.
