Rob reviews Snow Angels #3... Don't shoot me! Yes, I may have missed out on reviewing Snow Angels #2 . No excuses really, I just plainly forgot! I really need to invest in a diary.  Anyway, apologies aside. I'm back with a look at Snow Angels #3 ... Jeff Lemire and Jock's Snow Angels has been a fantastic series so far.
