Monstress While I’ve never done much writing myself, the techniques that go into the craft have always fascinated me. In the realm of speculative fiction, two things can make or break a story: worldbuilding and pacing. While there are plenty of other important elements, these are the two that I […]
Five Ghosts The horror genre is always a tricky thing for me. While I do admittedly love over the top violence and silliness like in the brilliant TV show, Ash vs the Evil Dead, it seems like much of the genre relies on torture porn to convey its thrills and chills. […]
Death: The Deluxe Edition No matter who you are or how tough you may consider yourself, everyone fears something. For some people, it’s spiders. For others, it’s heights. The list of the things humanity fears is mindbogglingly long. Perhaps one of the oldest and most pervasive (unsurprisingly) is thanatophobia, or […]
Doctor Strange Extravaganza! As someone who had historically been more of a DC fan than Marvel, I’ve been curiously watching the upcoming Marvel superhero movie, Doctor Strange.

Tomboy A Graphic Memoir As anyone who knows me can attest, I am not the most feminine of women. I struggle to care about a lot of traditionally girly things and have always had more male friends than female. When you’re more into videogames and sports, that’s just kind of […]
The Divine As a reader of graphic novels, I have to admit that I usually stay away from the experimental ones. I tend to find them confusing and more irritating than not because of that. In an attempt to broaden my horizons a wee bit, this week I’m taking a look […]
Awhile back, almost a year ago in fact, I talked about a little book called The Sandman: Overture here on Graphic Reviews. Turns out, I wasn’t the only one who immensely enjoyed it! This year, Overture won the Hugo award for Best Graphic Story. For those unfamiliar with the Hugo […]
Ghosted First off, I need to apologize for the lack of review last week, I recently started working full-time again and let my fun responsibilities get away from me. And this week’s review is all fun! I’ve long been a sucker for heist stories (hence my irrepressible love for Ed […]
