    Following my enjoyment of the Undertaker series, I decided to try and find some more work from the creators of that book, and came across this 3-book series by the same artist, and written by Tome, whose work I’ve also enjoyed in the past (Spirou & Fantasio, Soda). Berceuse Assassine has a rather interesting concept,…

    As I mentioned in my favorite media of 2015 post, when it comes to graphic novels, I tend to play a lot of catch up at the end of the year, as the year-end lists start to come out. On the French side, a new Western series called Undertaker piqued my interest, and so I…

    I recently wrote about how much I enjoyed getting into Southern Bastards, and so as I impatiently wait for a new issue to come out, I decided to go back and read Jason Aaron’s Scalped, a crime series that takes place in and around a Native American Reservation. I remember reading it back when it…

    It’s my annual tradition in December to write up a list of my favorite media that I consumed throughout the year, that was released that year (here’s my 2014 edition). This is a HIGHLY subjective list, and is made up of stuff that I liked the most out of the stuff I got to experience.…

    This is one of those comic series that I missed jumping on when it launched, and then kept hearing tons of good things about it from friends, but was too lazy (or just forgot) to check it out. With the year-end “best of” lists popping up, I was reminded that I should finally get around to…

    It’s a comic about a dude with a sword who lops off heads, while carrying a talking witch’s head in a bag. It’s awesome. The art is fantastic and super dynamic. The first issue came out in September, and it’s a quarterly, and so the next issue should be out this month. Each issue is…

    Naoki Urasawa is my favorite mangaka, and his current series, Billy Bat – the story of a Mickey Mouse-like comic strip character that is more than it seems – has been a treat to follow. I hadn’t read any new chapters since earlier in the year, and just this week went and got caught up on…

    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.…

    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…
