Graphic Reviews: The Killing Joke

The Killing Joke An astute (i.e. has read more than one of my reviews and isn’t brain dead) may have noticed that my favorite superhero is Batman. I have mentioned this a few times in previous reviews. I grew up watching Batman: The Animated Series and first fell in love […]


Graphic Reviews: DCC Showcase – Marguerite Sauvage & DC Bombshells 1

DCC Showcase – Marguerite Sauvage & DC Bombshells I have been waiting since before I started writing Graphic Reviews to be able to attend the Denver Comic Con (living at the opposite end of the state made that a bit more difficult than it is now) and I’m very excited to […]

Many are self-contained universes of their own. Some of the best stories in the DC universe […]

Graphic Reviews: Colder

Warning: This review will feature some disturbing and graphic artwork so if you’re squeamish, you might want to skip this one. In honor of the spirit of Halloween, this month I will be focusing on graphic novel series that deal with some aspect of horror. Since I touched on zombies […]
