IDW Recruits Wally Wood's "T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents"

Really torn about this. I thought Specter and Cafu's recent run was great -- very authentic feeling. But Hester's a good writer and DiVito is an amazing artists. Don't get me started on Ordway doing the covers. Brilliant, basically.

Thanks for posting this Sean. I had forgotten this series was coming out and haven't been checking PREVIEWS, lately. With DC' cancellations, I am going to find something new to fill the void. This is one that fits perfectly. Added to pull list

i've been waiting so long for a re-print of the original series.
