BLACK KISS OMNIBUS – graphic novel
Warning: This review addresses adult sexual and violent content. Let me be very clear … I knew NOTHING about this book, or the series of comics. I recognize Howard Chaykin’s name as an artist with both DC and Marvel comics back in the 1970’s (when I was a regular comic reader). The cover suggested an Continue reading

THE WORLD OF BLACK HAMMER VOL. 5 – graphic novel
I was/am unfamiliar with the Black Hammer graphic novel series, but when this came available to me and I saw Jeff Lemire’s name, Geoff Johns’ name, and Patton Oswalt’s name in the credits I thought it was worth checking out. The book appears to be a graphic novel anthology. There are eight stories collected here, Continue reading

BLADE RUNNER 2039: THE COMPLETE SERIES OMNIBUS – graphic novel
I’m a very big fan of Philip K Dick, his novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, and the two feature-length Blade Runner movies (the original would probably make my top five favorite films of all time). I’ve not read any of the sequel novels by K. W. Jeter, nor, prior to this, have I read any of Continue reading

JUMPSCARE – graphic novel
Collecting the first four issues of the comic book by the same name, Jumpscare is a new sort of superhero. A young woman who happens to be a huge fan of horror/slasher/grindhouse films is bestowed with a unique power – she can call up (and use) any movie weapon from any horror film she’s ever Continue reading

BUG WARS – graphic novel
**Right out of the gate I want to make one thing clear… I was approved for a “Preview Copy” ARC of Bug Wars. Apparently a “Preview Copy” is not a complete copy of the book but a sample of the book. In this case, it appears to be issue #1 of the Bug Wars comic book and the Continue reading

LOST MARVELS NO. 3: SAVAGE TALES OF THE 1980S – graphic novel
This will be a shorter than usual review, and in fact I was torn whether to actually review this or not, because I did not get the opportunity to read the book. Usually when requesting a book for review, the publisher will send the complete book, or deny the request. In this case, I was Continue reading

MINKY WOODCOCK: THE GIRL CALLED CTHULHU – graphic novel
I knew/(know) nothing about this character Minky Woodcock. and I’ve never read anything by Cynthia von Buhler, but I was in the mood for something in the noir vein and a Hard Case Crime book is usually good to meet that need! Following the death of Harry Houdini (with whom Minky had a close relationship), Continue reading

THE MOON IS FOLLOWING US – graphic novel
So, I read through this. Twice. And I just don’t know what to make of it! A six-year-old girl, Penny, is in trouble – she was kidnapped by some really Bad people and now she won’t wake up. Doctors don’t seem to be able to help her, but a strange little dude appears out of Continue reading

REMOTE SPACE – graphic novel
400+ years in the future humans have split in two primary factions – those who have adapted for space travel using cybernetic augments to the body, and those who used genetic manipulation to have the body adapt to the devasting climate change. There’s a virus that’s decimating the earth-bound humans and despite the advancements in Continue reading

THE MICHAEL MOORCOCK LIBRARY: ELRIC: THE MAKING OF A SORCERER – graphic novel
GRAPHIC NOVEL WEEK Sometime about the mid-1970’s I discovered Michael Moorcock’s Elric books and became a big fan of the series. When I saw that there was a graphic novel, written by Moorcock, that told the origin of the albino, I was definitely interested. Sometimes there are books you are interested in reading and you Continue reading

The union is now looking to go national, with the union leaders tasting a bit of power. But the members who made up the union are no longer a cohesive force, having scattered or retired. Continue reading

THE DOMAIN – graphic novel
GRAPHIC NOVEL WEEK I’ve been in a mood lately to read some graphic novels and was looking for something new and also a first in a series when I stumbled on this, The Domain. Three friends head out to where an actual UFO may have landed. One of the friends has been actively tracking such events Continue reading
