STAR TREK: MANIFEST DESTINY – graphic novel
This is actually not so much a graphic novel as it is the first issue of a comic book (which will most likely ultimately be published as a graphic novel). My ARC of this was twenty-four pages, though Goodreads lists this at 40 pages. Sixteen pages of bonus material? Perhaps. Because it’s just the beginning… Continue reading

GREEN LANTERN VOL. 7: RENEGADE – graphic novel
I’ve long been a fan of the Green Lantern series of comics/graphic novels, though for whatever reason, I haven’t read too many of them here for this review blog. This book is a good companion piece to the graphic novel Green Lantern Corp: Lost Army Vol 1, which I reviewed last week. In that book,… Continue reading

GREEN LANTERN CORPS: LOST ARMY VOL. 1 – graphic novel
It has been awhile since I’ve read a graphic novel and am delighted to return to the format with a Green Lantern story. The book opens with Green Lantern John Stewart and a handful of other Lanterns waking up on a strange planet. Stranger still, their rings can’t identify where they are or where any… Continue reading

SWORDS OF SORROW: THE COMPLETE SAGA – graphic novel
Well, I was very excited for this book. Seeing Gail Simone’s name on a book of female warrior heroes, I was pretty sure that this would be another great story with strong women in strong roles. Sadly, I was wrong. The story: A whole bunch of strong female characters, some I am familiar with (Vampirella,… Continue reading

RED SONJA/CONAN: BLOOD OF A GOD – graphic novel
Conan and Red Sonja, together again? Absolutely! And it works! I’ve been a fan of the Conan stories since reading the Robert E. Howard books and stories back in the 70’s. Then I followed that up with the really excellent comics published by Marvel. But as with almost any good thing, the market seemed to… Continue reading

STAR TREK/GREEN LANTERN: THE SPECTRUM WAR – graphic novel
When I first heard about this cross-over from a friend of mine who reads a lot of comics and graphic novels, I know I rolled my eyes and said something unkind words about finding new ways to dig into people’s wallets. And when I saw the graphic novel available for review on Netgalley, I again… Continue reading

MARTIAN MANHUNTER, VOL. 1: EPIPHANY – graphic novel
I am not a big fan of this character/comic, but I have a good friend who is and so I wanted to read it and become a little more familiar with the character. I will be interested in what he thought of this book. Not knowing the character well, what I see here is a… Continue reading

COPPERHEAD, VOL. 2 – graphic novel
Volume 2 of the graphic novel Copperhead, picks up immediately following the events in Volume 1 but manages to pick up on a new story-line along the way. Sheriff Clara Bronson is starting to settle in to her role in Copperhead and after a climactic apprehension, decides to actually take a night off and wind… Continue reading

LEGENDERRY: RED SONJA – graphic novel
I have read quite a few great Red Sonja titles lately, and like many fans of the genre and fans of Robert E. Howard, I’ve always liked the character. And so I had no hesitation to request this additional title – Legenderry: Red Sonja. Now, what I need to disclose is that while I enjoy… Continue reading

STAR TREK, VOLUME 11 – graphic novel
Clearly I’m letting a bit of my geekiness show through in that I am review a fair amount of Star Trek related books and graphic novels. I have to admit I enjoy the nostalgia of entering this world that I enjoyed so much back in the 1970’s. This particular graphic novel, Volume 11 in the… Continue reading

RED SONJA, VOLUME 3: THE FORGIVING OF MONSTERS – graphic novel
I am very impressed with the way Red Sonja has been written and illustrated lately. In this book, Volume 3: The Forgiving of Monsters, Sonja is made the most human I think I’ve ever seen her. And I liked it. In the first story in this volume, Red Sonja is cursed by a wizard so… Continue reading
