Suspicions, our sleuth, and a soft strongman stretch out the story in this sustaining segment of Wicked Things. The ongoing series from the creative team behind Giant Days shows us the sweet-talking smoothness of a subtler Lottie against a series of strange casino smash and grabs.
REVIEW: Wicked Things #3: Wicked Wishes
A sleuth, more snobbery, and stolen goods set up a subplot in this succeeding segment of Wicked Things. The ongoing series from the creative team behind Giant Days shows us the superpowers of our slightly-ruffled protagonist. Suspicions and a slew of petty crimes capture Lottie’s attention in this newest installment.
Wicked Things #1: Something Wicked (Cool) This Way Comes
