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

Graphic Novel Review: Where the Body Was by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips
I was in my early twenties when Serial first aired, and it sent me into a bit of a nose-dive into true-crime podcasts. I became enthralled with the podcast format and with crime journalism.

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. I kept returning to the comics because of their exceptionally odd covers and eventually realized this… 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: 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
