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 →

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 →
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.

Remember when I said that Killing the Children isn't only horror? Reading this second volume, it's kind of hard not to bonk myself on the head, because the horror elements, my friends, are nothing if not manifold. Let's get this out of the way: Should you pick up the second volume of this comic book?... Continue Reading →
Something Is Killing the Children Vol. 1 by James Tynion IV
James Tynion IV is one of those comic book writers I've wanted to dig into for some time now, especially with the increasing number of accolades his BOOM! Studios series, Something Is Killing the Children, has received over the last two years. It's selling like hot cakes, it keeps cropping up in conversations and on... Continue Reading →

Hullo, lovely people! It’s time to do something I really mean to make a habit of – have meant to, for an entire year! It’s not gone well. Anyway: Trope Check returns for Eyes of the Void, following a year-long hiatus after the first book in The Final Architecture was released. I’ll do a list... Continue Reading →
