SERENITY: NO POWER IN THE ‘VERSE – graphic novel
Like many fans of science fiction, I really liked the television series Firefly and the follow-up film, Serenity. The creative force behind the series, Joss Whedon, has kept the series going – not on television, but through graphic novels. It’s a pretty good means when you think about it. It’s still a visual medium, but… Continue reading

I borrowed the audio version from my local library for my drives to/from work.… Continue reading

THE BURIED LIFE – Carrie Patel
If you’ve read many of my reviews you’ve probably seen me mention one of my favorite sci-fi publishers, Angry Robot Books. No…I get no kickbacks or preferential treatment for mentioning them. I like them because they take risks. They remind me of what DAW books was like in the 1970’s … edgy sci-fi that didn’t… Continue reading

Combine World War Z and Mad Max and put it into a comic book without pictures and you get the fast-paced feel for The Change: Orbital. “The Change” came about suddenly, turning the world into an instantaneous post-apocalyptic, dystopian world. Howard wakes up in a car on a highway to discover the change and is… Continue reading
