Mara For as long as I’ve been reading, I’ve always felt myself drawn to speculative fiction. While I don’t necessarily dislike general fiction, there’s just so much possibility inherent in science fiction and fantasy. There are so many themes that can be explored in the sneakiest of ways. Sure, you […]
The Fuse Those who know me (and anyone who reads these articles) knows that I have a deep abiding love of Ed Brubaker’s writing. In large part, this is because Brubaker takes a genre which I tend to have relatively little interest in (crime/noir) and brings such depth and intensity […]
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 […]
The Nightly News Ask the average person what their opinion of the news is and I’d be willing to bet that you’ll open up a can of worms that you’ll immediately regret. The idea of news as a pure, objective source of information is long in the past. Now that […]

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 […]
The Fade Out As I have mentioned before, I am not what you would call a movie buff. If I had to list my media in order of preference, it would easily be books, video games and television/movies. It’s just the way it is when you grow up as bibliophile. […]
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, […]
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 […]
