A BOY AND A GIRL
I have to admit that I’ve been enjoying reading graphic novels on my Samsung tablet, lately. Having a variety of review copies to read has also been nice. This time around it’s a graphic novel by a company I’m not familiar with, by a writer and artist I’m not familiar with and doesn’t have anything Continue reading

TO THE 5TH POWER by Shirin Dubbin
Well… there’s definitely been a recurring theme of reading about superheroes lately, and as this looked to be a short read (it is), and about superheroes (it is), with a sexy looking superheroine (or super villian?) on the cover (there is and she is!) I thought, ‘why not toss it in to my mix of Continue reading

BEFORE WATCHMEN: OZYMANDIAS/CRIMSON CORSAIR by Len Wein and Jae Lee

HOLES FOR FACES by Ramsey Campbell

The fourteen stories in this collection are: “Passing Continue reading

THE HIGH WAYS
Probably the most obvious reason to read this particular graphic novel is because of the author/artist, John Byrne. Byrne’s name is nearly synonymous with comic books to anyone who spent much time with comics in the ’70’s and ’80’s. Seeing Byrne’s name on a comic, particularly as artist, was usually a sign that it was Continue reading

VAMPIRELLA STRIKES
When I was a teenaged boy, I loved the Vampirella comic … for some very obvious reasons! I can recall stuffing in between my superhero comics so that my parents wouldn’t see it. Now…well, it’s a little embarassing to have a copy out. Thank you Kindle for allowing me the privacy to read without showing Continue reading
