The iFanboy Letter Column - 11/14/08!

On Nov 14, 2008 4:00 PM

I like recap pages if a new story-arc is kicking off that involves some older or obscure elements from a character's history or if there are a lot of characters involved.  Take Final Crisis and it's tie-ins.  I just read Submit and Resist, didn't recognize a single character and had no idea what kind of organization Checkmate is or how they fit into the DCU.  I would have love...
