I like the cast of characters though & am looking forward to issue 3. #ncbd — Comical Podcast (@ComicalPodcast) August 6, 2014 Grayson is way more fun than it has any right to be considering its origin.

Some things get revealed, and more questions arise. The end was especially surprising. I love it! #ncbd #comics ## — Comical Podcast (@ComicalPodcast) August 6, 2014 Speaking of dark stuff, Nailbiter #4 is the best issue yet.
