Graphic Novel Review: XINO by Phil Hester, Melissa Flores, Alex Segura, and more
I’m always looking for weird fiction anthologies, so I was thrilled to find this speculative and weird fiction graphic novel anthology. When a book is described as “an intra-ocular lozenge of subversive, surrealist science fiction,” you better believe I’m going to be interested. XINO comes from Oni Press, a publisher I trust, so I had… Continue reading

Graphic Novel Review: Night Fever by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips
One truth about me is that I can’t refuse a weird-fiction graphic novel. I just recently finished my first Brubaker and Phillips title, and I couldn’t say no to reviewing another. I enjoyed Where the Body Was, and its story has stuck with me far more than I thought it would. I found the story in Night… Continue reading

“Congratulations, you’re flourishing!” Criminals around the globe get this message along with an invite to an all-expenses paid cruise. The only ones who take the offer are those self-obsessed or deluded enough to believe they’re worthy of recognition. The cruise does not turn out as expected, to say the least, and the invitees all end… Continue reading

Graphic Novel Review: Dead Seas by Cavan Scott and Nick Brokenshire
It’s nearly impossible to be in the Star Wars and Doctor Who fandoms now and not know Cavan Scott’s writing. I loved the Tempest Runner audiobook and The Ninth Doctor comics (reviews to come), so I knew I wanted to try his original comic Dead Seas, now available as a full-collected volume. Dead Seas is… Continue reading

Graphic Novel Review – Monomyth Vol. 1 by David Hazan and Cecilia Lo Valvo
An isolated secret school of magic. Wizards from ancient magic bloodlines. Staircases that lead every which way and change direction underfoot. Siblings, rivals, and lovers that fill the castle halls and fight to be the best witch or wizard of their age. It sounds familiar, doesn’t it? I’m actually talking about Monomyth, a magic-filled triumph… Continue reading
