“It’s a little off the beaten path, but I read DC’s Graphic Novel, Identity Crisis. The wives and loved one’s of the super heroes of the Justice League of America are being targeted. The league bans together, but find that the threat isn’t any super villain, but themselves… It is one of the best stories I have read yet.” – Katie Villanueva
