Coming Soon! (October) Since we’re rolling into pumpkin spice and Halloween season with the start of October, I wanted to take this week to start one of my new planned segments for Graphic Reviews. With the changes to the structure of Graphic Reviews, the first article of each month will […]
Games! As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a huge fan of games, both the cardboard and video varieties. As with many other types of adaptations, graphic novel adaptations of games have been largely hit or miss. So I figured that this week, I’d talk about some of the game to graphic […]
Shock Anthology One of the greatest aspects of reading graphic novels is the immense number of stories available to check out. But this is also one of the biggest challenges. How do you know what’s worth your time? In the more traditional novel format, I tend to be a fan […]
