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 →
Supernatural rural noir has been forever ruined for me by the impossibly high standards of ridiculously fun Stephen King read…but y’know what? Tim Seeley’s Revival promises to scratch that same itch. This first volume, You’re Among Friends, tells the story of twenty-something people coming back to life in a small rural American town. This throws... Continue Reading →

Kieron Gillen is one among a very limited number of comic book writers who never fail to deliver excellent works. Whether you look at his heartbreaking "Journey into Mystery,"( exploring the life of a young Loki), or his multiple collaborations with Jamie McKelvie -- Young Avengers, Phonogram and the godly Wicked/Divine -- you are bound...

Sundays are for...gushing about how awesome Marvel's The Defenders is! I've been following the Netflix Marvel shows with great interest ever since the first season of Daredevil came out three years ago. Daredevil was amazing, and so was Jessica Jones, while both Luke Cage and Iron Fist stumbled and struggled with several issues, respectively. The Defenders... Continue Reading →
