The hikers cut open their tent, went out in the snowy sub-zero terrain underdressed, split into three smaller groups, and all perished. The hikers… Continue reading

Graphic Novel Review: Nature’s Labyrinth, Vol. 1 by Zac Thompson and Bayleigh Underwood
“Congratulations, you’re flourishing!” Criminals around the globe get this message along with an invite to an all-expenses paid cruise.

Comic Review – Star Trek: The Animated Celebration Presents The Scheimer Barrier
I initially picked up The Scheimer Barrier off Amazon because the comics were free and, well, they’re Star Trek. I added them to my massive, ever-growing collection of comics and didn’t think much of them for a few weeks.

Even though I didn’t grow up watching the anime or reading the manga, I was always curious about Ed and Al and their quests.

Graphic Novel Review: Dead Seas by Cavan Scott and Nick Brokenshire

Dead Seas is… Continue reading

Graphic Novel Review: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine – The Dog of War
My dad was a kid of the 1960s – a product of Gene Roddenberry, the Space Race, and James T. Kirk. As a result, I grew up watching Star Trek’s Original Series. I can talk OG Star Trek with the best of them. If you want to talk Khan and tribbles and “The City on… Continue reading

Graphic Novel Review: Two Graves Volume 1: Wish You Were Here
Two Graves: Wish You Were Here is a lushly colored and decadently illustrated road trip between a woman named Emilia and Death. Two Graves weaves a dark re-telling of Persephone through a modern perspective. It’s not all fun and games for Emilia and Death. Emilia can’t remember things she desperately wants to, and she’s developing… Continue reading
