Previous - Bounty Hunters Vol. 01, Galaxy's Deadliest | Next - The Ashes of Jedha/Mutiny at Mon Cala A five-issue anthology, this was an enjoyable, well-written (if short) look at some of my favourite childhood villains from the prequel trilogy. And Jango Fett. And the robot guy with the arms. The first story chronicles the... Continue Reading →
Sunday Star Wars: Kanan First Blood – Comic Book Review
Somehow I managed to miss out on talking about the final issue of the previous volume, The Last Padawan, reviewed last week here.

Die Vol. 01: Fantasy Heartbreaker by Kieron Gillen and Stephanie Hans (Artist) – Graphic Novel Review
Kieron Gillen has written some of the finest comic books over the past decade. When I heard that he would be penning a new project that sees D&D and Jumanji come together, I was excited--thrilled, in fact! And when the first few pieces of art were revealed, I was ecstatic. Now, nine months after I... Continue Reading →
Monstress, Volume 01: Some Good #%@!ing Art

I've taken the initiative now. Volume 01: Awakening has a unique art style, slick and gorgeous, showcasing the... Continue Reading →
