⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 REVIEW for @darkhorse.com THE SMART DIVISION, me & @johnjpearson.bsky.social and Hass! "Boy did Kaplan and Pearson deliver on the debut issue of The Smart Division with a modern detective mystery that is eerily relevant and exceptionally beautiful." - @capesandtights.com

Capes and Tights@capesandtights.com · last wk.

Zack Kaplan delivers a timely detective tale exploring the use of technology in solving crimes. However, it's the juxtaposition of John Pearson's elegant brush strokes that makes story rise above. Our review: capestights.com/r2e @zackkaps.bsky.social @johnjpearson.bsky.social @darkhorse.com
