Nightwing, Vol. 1: Traps and Trapezes by Kyle Higgins First, I have something to say to get it out of my system. Dick talks too damn much. I know it’s a diversion, but my goodness! In my head, he sounds just like he does in Under the Red Hood (as voiced by Neil Patrick Harris), […]

City of Lies by Lian Tanner Okay, let’s see if I can pull this review off without making it another gush-fest on my love for Claudia Black. As usual, her narration is fantastic, but for this second book of The Keepers Trilogy, I want to focus on the story because that’s what I think really […]
