SUPERHEROES — Rich Horton, editor
A collection of short stories: Introduction — Rich Horton “Sunlight Society” – Margaret Ronald: This isn’t really as much about superheroes as it is about advanced/integrated technology within a person. Though there does seem to be some superheroes in the society structure surrounding the story. Basically, a tech-head gains access to a highly fortified place Continue reading

THE FIFTH BEATLE: THE BRIAN EPSTEIN STORY – Vivek Tiwary
The Beatles in a graphic novel? Why not? If you’ve been reading any of my reviews lately, you’ll note that I’ve read a fair number of graphic novels. It makes sense, if you know me… I’m a closet artist, and love the idea of illustrated books. But most of my life, growing up, graphic novels Continue reading

THE GODBORN – Paul S. Kemp
Although I’ve long been a Dungeons and Dragons player (or, rather, was a D&D player long ago), I have never read any books from the D&D press. I’m not sure why that is… I enjoy enjoy that fantasy and sword & sorcery genres. This, however, gives me a little bit of a clue as to Continue reading

GREEN LANTERN: RISE OF THE THIRD ARMY
I’m not sure what to make of this graphic novel. Let me start by saying that I’m generally a Green Lantern fan. I really enjoyed the Green Lantern (and “/Green Arrow”) books when I was a teenager. The only comic that I bought regularly in the past fifteen years was the Green Lantern “Blackest Night” Continue reading

PEREGRINE HARKER & THE BLACK DEATH — Luke Hollands
When I read and review a book, I try very hard to take in to consideration the intended audience, knowing full well that it may not be me (though I don’t know why not…I like reading just about any kind of fiction!). So who is this book targeted toward? This book is clearly aimed at Continue reading

RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS, VOL. 3: DEATH OF THE FAMILY
Here we are with still another “Death of the Family” book in the DC comics “New 52” comic book/graphic novel series. If you are a little bit confused just as to who the Red Hood is, feel free to raise your hand, alongside mine. If you are pretty clear as to who this is, you Continue reading

BATMAN AND ROBIN VOL. 3: DEATH OF THE FAMILY
Well now … I don’t have a clue what’s going on here! Is this part of the “Death of the Family” storyline, or not? Is this the same Batman who’s about to be a part of a devasting near-death moment with the Joker? This Bruce Wayne, who takes a ‘vacation’ and actually seems relaxed when Continue reading

PITCH — William Ollie
What happens when evil, in the form of William Pitch, returns to the same mountain town every thirteen years to fulfill his bargain agreement with the devil to collect his bounty of young boys to be sacrificed? Pitch happens. Author William Ollie is no stranger to the horror genre, and here he shows why his Continue reading

NIGHTWING VOL. 3: DEATH OF THE FAMILY
If you have followed any of my reviews prior to this, you won’t be surprised to see another “Death of the Family” story in graphic novel form (and there are more to come). I received a number of these books from DC Comics to review. This time it’s “Nightwing’s” turn at the story. Also, if Continue reading

TEEN TITANS VOL. 3: DEATH OF THE FAMILY
So here I am, reading another graphic novel in this story arc called “Death of the Family” featuring the Joker, who is about as dark, devious and definitely dangerous as he’s ever been. The first two graphic novels I read in this series, Batman, and Batgirl, were pretty good, and each could stand alone as Continue reading

SHAMAN — Kim Stanley Robinson
Opening a new Kim Stanley Robinson book, whether physical or electronic, is to know that, as a reader, you are about to go on a journey that will long be worth remembering. Shaman feels like a departure for Robinson. Typically his books have a cast of characters so long and complex that the readers needs Continue reading

BATGIRL, VOL. 3: DEATH OF THE FAMILY by Gail Simone and Daniel Sampere
Yesterday I reviewed the Batman graphic novel of the “Death of the Family” storyline, and rated it quite well. Today it’s Batgirl’s turn in the same storyline… From the start, I noticed the same heightened sense of impending doom that the Batman storyline had. Not a surprise since it’s a cross-over story. I was impressed Continue reading
