Are you tired of romance novels masquerading as #fantasy tales? I’ve got you covered. Purchase both THE EXERCISE OF VITAL POWERS and THE APPRENTICE IN THE MASTER’S SHADOW safe in the knowledge of 100% less exposure to the “romantasy” fad.

Not everyone in the DCU is black or white – most are shades of gray. And no one brings color to gray more than Frank Grillo, our own Rick Flag, Sr. Can’t wait for folks to see you bring the DCU together in #Superman and #Peacemaker. Happy Birthday, buddy!
