Image Comics: You’ve Come a Long Way Baby

Posted on May 3, 2013 1 Comment

I maintain a sordid, lovehate relationship with Marvel Comics, but back in the 1990s, there was a time when we kind of sort of broke up. That is to say, I cheated on Marvel. With Image Comics. I know I know, but you have to understand that I was young and naive and easily swayed […]

It’s the year 2076. After all the information we’ve ever uploaded online is suddenly released for everyone to see, privacy has become a sacred right valued by everyone. Well, almost everyone. Where there are secrets, there will always be paparazzi. In this case, the paparazzi become private detectives, hunting the secrets behind the secret identities […]

Graphic Novel Review: Superman – Red Son by Mark Millar

Posted on April 24, 2013 4 Comments

Superman: Red Son by Mark Millar (A) I don’t like Superman. (B) This is the best Superman story I’ve ever read. Twelve hours. That’s all it would have taken to change the course of history and turn the Superman we have grown up with into someone entirely different – or is he that different after […]

Posted on April 17, 2013 3 Comments

We’ve read Princeless Volume 1: Save Yourself almost every day since I picked it up at the beginning of the month, so when I told my daughters that I’d be interviewing the creator, Jeremy Whitley, they demanded participation. Izzy (4) was eager to learn about Jeremy’s daughter and proudly show off her hair, which is “poofy” just […]

Captain America: The Chosen by David Morrell Before I get to the Captain America gushing, I need to get this out of the way. I don’t like the setting for this. No, I’m okay with the war environment, but I didn’t like that it specifically had to be Afghanistan and Al Qaeda related with the […]

Graphic Novel Series Review: Star Wars: Legacy by John Ostrander and Jan Duursema

Posted on January 17, 2013 1 Comment

Star Wars: Legacy by John Ostrander and Jan Duursema The Jedi and Sith infuriate me. They are the same side of a spherical coin, but they refuse to see that. I have complained about my frustration with these Force users before, but usually, my complaints are within reviews of Star Wars books, games, shows, etc that point out the hypocrisy and stupidity of the Jedi […]

Graphic Novel Review: Kingdom Come by Mark Waid

Posted on March 19, 2012 Leave a Comment

Kingdom Come by Mark Waid I should have read this a long time ago, but I’ve always had issue with DC comics. Their heroes have always been untouchable gods. Sure they have their flaws, but even Batman seemed to be above humanity thanks to his money and abilities. In comparison, X-Men, my biased favourites, were far more […]

Supergods: What Masked Vigilantes, Miraculous Mutants, and a Sun God from Smallville Can Teach Us About Being Human by Grant Morrison This book is a wealth of information and insight on the industry that even includes suggested further reading and a thorough indexing.

Eat The Dead by Siddharth Kotian Last night while gaming with friends, I read this during moments in our mission where people were leveling or working on adding enhancements to their character before moving on to our next missions. The story took place in India and played around with the Aghoris. If you’re not familiar […]
