For as much as I love to talk about video games, I haven’t been playing them all that long. I wasn’t one of those kids that grew up with a Dreamcast or a Playstation. My parents were convinced that video games rotted your brain and so it took years of […]
I lay claim to the geek label on a fairly regular basis so it’s probably not much of a surprise that some of my fondest memories of being a teenager are of the tabletop role playing games we used to play. I remember having marathon sessions of Dungeons and Dragons where […]
For our October horror theme for Graphic Reviews, we’ve so far covered zombies, insane asylums and weird westerns so for the final horror review before Halloween, I’ve picked the horror that scares me the most: serial killers. While most monsters are capable of scaring me, nothing scares me as much […]
This week in Graphic Reviews we’ll be taking a look at witches. And these won’t be the green-faced, broomstick-riding hags you see every Halloween.

There aren’t all that many genres that are comfortable tossing disparate elements like spaceships and Old West style gunslingers together but science fiction straddles both in the most entertaining, creative ways.

Continuing in the vein of messed up stories from last week, this week I’ll be reviewing Deadly Class which is written by Rick Remender and illustrated by Wes Craig. Deadly Class is basically the story of high school if everyone was learning to be a cutthroat assassin. It’s dark, brutal […]
