Novel Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
I also got to Nabokov’s ambiguous work, which for some is a horror, for others a torment of the soul and the frank weakness of a person who could not curb his passion. It is worthy of booing or regret, whether it reeks of the novel or a genius …
Strange Secrets by Andy Roberts and Nick Redfern

Superman 689
There’s really not a whole lot to say about this comic. Mon-El flies around the world, teaming up with heroes and doing good deeds. None of it is ever really fleshed out, it’s like a 15 page montage.
