  • Inuyashiki

    —

    ,

    I just recently came across this new-ish manga from Hiroya Oku (Gantz), and was so absorbed that I plowed through everything that has been released so far (5 volumes) in one morning. It’s a mesmerizing and very dark take on what happens when someone suddenly finds themselves with fantastic (and mechanical) powers, good or bad.…

  • Le secret de Khâny

    ,

    As a kid, the Yoko Tsuno series of comics was one of my favorites – foreshadowing my future life in Japan perhaps – and I’ve continued to read them throughout my life. It’s been a few years since I’ve read one though, and over the weekend I read the latest book to come out, Le…

  • The Legacy of Luther Strode

    —

    ,

    I guess there’s been a few Luther Strode mini-series already, and this is apparently the final one, and the first one I’m reading. I’m still not quite sure what this story is all about, but I don’t care, because the reason I jumped in was because a friend of mine mentioned that Tradd Moore was…

  • This One Summer

    —

    ,

    This is a graphic novel I’ve been meaning to read for what feels like forever, and I finally got around to it today, and wow. I can’t begin to describe how much I enjoyed this, and how much I was so completely sucked in, with the 300 pages just flying by. In a way, it’s…

  • Marvel Star Wars Comics

    —

    ,

    I’ve been enjoying pretty much all of the Star Wars comics from Marvel since they launched earlier this year – the recent Lando mini-series was especially good – and with all of the excitement for the upcoming release of The Force Awakens, I decided to read the only two series from the Marvel books I…

  • Favorite Media of 2014

    —

    In what has become an annual tradition – I’ve done it for the past 4 years, although those posts are now all lost to the ether due to my big server shutdown of 2014 – I like to end the year with a big post that goes through my favorite media of the year. This…

  • Deadly Class

    —

    ,

    Last night was all about taking in some of Rick Remender’s creator-owned work, and after getting sucked into Black Science, I then plowed through Deadly Class, which I enjoyed just as much. I love how it combines a realistic down-and-out (and inspired by his own life) background for the characters, tacked on top of an over-the-top…

  • Black Science

    —

    ,

    I know I’m late to the party on this (there are now 7 issues out), but wow, I think this is my new favorite comic series. It’s astounding how fun a read this is, with some of the best and craziest cliffhangers I’ve seen, and constant surprises/twists in terms of where things are going –…
