X-Men Vol. 01 by Jonathan Hickman – Comic Book Review
https://youtu.be/LzvqI1MBMo8 Below you'll find the text-based review: The flagship title of the X-Men has dropped any pithy adjective. No more "Uncanny" for our mutant protagonists as they move away from protecting a world that fears them. That's a decidedly secondary objective now; with Jonathan Hickman's relaunch of the series, everything's changed. This first volume of... Continue Reading →

Citizen Sleeper is Amazing – Video Game Review
https://youtu.be/nDEhuMP-rbQ And here's the video's script: It is a talented studio that can create a seamless experience out of Citizen Sleeper's several divergent elements. On the one side, I'm faced with this absolutely adorable character art by Guillaume Singelin--dare I call it cutesy? It's lo-fi art, the kind you expect to see when you open... Continue Reading →
Along the Razor’s Edge – Video Review
Hello, everyone! I've made a video version of my 2020 review of Along the Razor's Edge -- while doing that, I also updated it somewhat. Hindsight is a wonder, once you've read an entire series, isn't it? Expect the rest of the series reviewed within the end of next week! https://youtu.be/BhNRPro3Fys
Wolverine Vol. 01 by Benjamin Percy – Comic Book Review
The first volume of Benjamin Percy's Wolverine has me more excited about the violent midget ninja than any X-Book has for close to a decade. Not Death of Wolverine, not Hunt of Wolverine or Return of Wolverine or Prom of Wolverine 2: Stabby Boogaloo. But enough jokes; at the heart of this first volume is... Continue Reading →
The Grimoire Reliquary in 2023
Hullo, everyone! It has been a while, hasn't it? Apologies for that, I have been busy with work and my master's in literature. The blog has had to take a backseat these past couple of months but after a lovely two-week break, I feel in just the right mood to create a MASTERPLAN for The... Continue Reading →
A Stranger at the Hearth by Katherine Buel – Novella Review
I found Katherine Buel's A Stranger at the Hearth something of a mixed bag. It is the latest in a vein of retellings that follow in the footsteps of such luminary works of fantasy as The Song of Achilles, this one centered around the legendary figure of Sigurd from Germanic and Norse myth. The source... Continue Reading →
Giant Days Vol. 08 by John Allison and Max Sarin – Graphic Novel Review
Previous | Next Friendships, relationships, living together--what do all these have in common? They tend to get messy, especially when you're just turning twenty. Those are the lessons our heroines are met with, come Volume 08 of Giant Days. I first read it in 2021 and promptly forgot to review it; revisiting the series again... Continue Reading →
Graphic Novel Review: Something Is Killing the Children Vol. 03 by James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera
The climax of a multiple volume-long arc can be the bane of an ongoing comic series. It can see characters unravel, the momentum grind to a pitiable slog, the worldbuilding collapse under its own weight. More than a few ongoing series with vast amounts of potential meet this fate. I recall a promising creator-driven series... Continue Reading →
