In my most recent exploration of BookCloseOuts, the Aetherial Tales series by Freda Warrington was recommended to me. I immediately fell in love with the beautiful cover art and the reviews for the series convinced me that the story was well worth the purchase.

An All New Red Sonja by Gail Simone

I love the movie Red Sonja. It’s a hunt-through-bargain-bins treasure that has been with me since the ‘80s, yet I’ve never read or even been inspired to read the comics. Until I learned that Gail Simone was going to be penning this issue (Does she have a thing for redheads?). This means no more excuses […]

The sure sign of a good book or graphic novel cover is when it immediately makes me click the buy button. That’s what happened during my recent Comixology raid when I stumbled onto Becky Cloonan‘s haunting and beautiful trilogy. This is Cloonan’s first self-published project. I’m glad I judged it by its cover!

Cover Lover: King of Thorns

Mark Lawrence recently posted the many covers for his King of Thorns, offering fans a chance to vote for their favourite of the eight. This is my favourite, a variation of the most common cover image for this book. I love the brilliance of the red draped across the throne, a sharp comparison to the […]
