FBP As someone who likes to stick with what’s comfortable, sometimes I have a bit of a hard time challenging myself in terms of my reading. As a librarian-in-training, I can’t afford not to learn new genres or find things I like about ones of which I am not a […]
Tokyo Ghost Science fiction has long been trying to answer the question of whether technology is likely to bring more good or more ill to humanity and society in general and in large part, cyberpunk has been a part of that conversation. Whether it’s Ghost in the Shell or Neuromancer […]
Chrononauts As a reader, it’s good to find creators (authors or illustrators) who push the boundaries of what’s considered acceptable in a genre. If you read too much of the same thing, you can get stuck in a rut and miss out on interesting ideas just because they don’t fit […]
How to Talk to Girls at Parties As the classic, stereotypical shy introvert, parties are generally about as appealing to me as going to the dentist. Unless I know a significant portion of the guests well, parties just mean sitting in a corner, sipping alcohol and wishing I was less […]

Star Wars: Lando After almost a month of writing about my favorite fandom for Graphic Reviews, I realized that I haven’t actually talked about the main series yet. But instead of doing that, I’m gonna talk about another sidekick! Those who want to hear about the main series will just […]
Star Wars: Chewbacca When you think about your favorite stories, it’s natural to think only in terms of the heroes and the villains. After all, they’re the ones that the story focuses on. And even among heroes, we tend to focus on just a few and enjoy but largely do […]
