Coming Soon! (October) Since we’re rolling into pumpkin spice and Halloween season with the start of October, I wanted to take this week to start one of my new planned segments for Graphic Reviews. With the changes to the structure of Graphic Reviews, the first article of each month will […]
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Adaptations of any beloved material are a tricky tightrope to walk. No matter what you do, you’re likely to upset someone. If you don’t stick closely enough to the source material, then fans will feel betrayed (as films like I Am Legend and World […]
DCC Showcase ’17: Ben Templesmith and Brett Weldele As continue to count down to the opening of this year’s Denver Comic Con (8 days!), this week I will be talking about a few more of the creators who will be making an appearance at the con this year. Today, I’ll […]
