Comic Book Review – Nailbiter #17
Zeb Larson reviews Nailbiter #17… NEW STORY ARC. A brutal new serial killer strikes!

Comic Book Review – Nailbiter #16
Zeb Larson reviews Nailbiter #16… Nailbiter is up to its old tricks, by which I mean that we have another issue of stalling on plot advancement, boring pseudo-revelations, and action that doesn’t add up to much of anything.

Comic Book Review – Nailbiter #12
Zeb Larson reviews Nailbiter #12… The dreaded media has arrived! I don’t know what to do with this issue of Nailbiter.
