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 […]


Graphic Reviews: Preacher

Preacher The abiding connection between America and cowboys has always fascinated me. Despite it having been generations since cowboys were in their heyday, the cowboy remains one of those quintessential American figures. Ask anyone to name something American and along with baseball and mom’s apple pie, I guarantee that cowboys […]


Graphic Reviews: The Wake

The Wake I find environmental dystopians to be a rather fascinating genre that seems to have only gathered steam as the debate about climate change ramps up and becomes more important to people in general. Whatever your view on climate change, the idea of the oceans swallowing large parts of […]


Graphic Reviews: Debris 1

Debris One of the dangers of being a bibliophile is that the battle of the to-read stacks is never-ending. This is especially true for graphic novels because hundreds of issues are published each month and even once collected into volumes, it’s nigh impossible to keep up with. Even if you […]


Graphic Reviews: Punisher, Welcome Home, Frank

Punisher, Welcome Home, Frank Since last week in Graphic Reviews I looked at one of the best Daredevil runs in preparation for the new season of the Netflix series, this week I’ll be handling the other side and talking about one of my favorite Punisher stories. Like many antiheroes, Punisher can […]


Graphic Reviews: Alex + Ada

Alex + Ada The danger of artificial intelligence is one of those cautionary tales with which we humans seem to be absolutely enamored. How many stories have we created in which we use science to fashion beings who will make our lives easier only to have said beings turn against us, […]


Graphic Reviews: Beauty

Beauty Image Comics was kind enough to allow me to read a digital galley of this volume so I am pleased to review the series this week. For all that we might claim that “beauty is only skin deep,” we sure spend a lot of time pursuing it. Every age has […]


Graphic Reviews: Nimona

Nimona Given that I discussed one of the greatest anti-heroes ever written last week, this week seemed a good time to discuss that line between anti-hero and sympathetic villain. One of the aspects of anti-heroes that makes them interesting is that on a bad day, they’re really not that much […]


Graphic Reviews: Deadpool

Deadpool As I may have mentioned once or twice, I have long been a fan of the tortured superheroes (Batman being the obvious choice here) and the antiheroes. One of the very first comics that I ever picked up featured a Deadpool/Spiderman team-up and I instantly fell in love. With […]


Graphic Reviews: Tyson Hesse’s Diesel

After the dark, occasionally creepy and disturbing tones of Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham and Superman: Red Son, it seemed like  this week was a perfect time for something fun and silly. This week, I’m taking a look at a wonderful, indie steampunk story called Tyson Hesse’s Diesel. […]
