Previous || Next The good Doctor is back, and running for her life with her dearest pal, the homicidal protocol droid Triple-Zero. The two frenemies are in quite the bind--as soon as they grow further than 20 metres apart, the explosives implanted in their necks will arm, and go ka-BLOOEY! Grizzly, but what's a little...

I enjoy works set out as prequels to the prequel trilogy - Master and Apprentice is one of my most favourite reads. I didn't always like Darth Maul, but catching up on the Clone Wars series has warmed me up to ol' Red'n'Spiky! And if I needed another reason, just look at that cover. It... Continue Reading →
Some spoilers ahead. This is the most conflicted I've been when it comes to poor, tortured Chelli Aphra. On one hand, some of the dialogue in the second and third issues of this volume make for a downright gag-inducing reaction. Some of the jokes are bad, owed to the kind of self-referential humour you'd get... Continue Reading →
Somehow I managed to miss out on talking about the final issue of the previous volume, The Last Padawan, reviewed last week here. All the more power to me, as it was very open-ended - I'm lucky to be able to read both volumes practically in bulk, I'd have chewed my leg off if I... Continue Reading →

Also, holding grudges against moustachioed men. In this story of doom and wonderful drama, Esther de Groot... Continue Reading →
My review of Monstress Vol. 01 -- here. The Blood reveals a few missing pieces about Maika Halfwolf's family and our young protagonist's complex relationship with her mother, while it also answers several mysteries first set up in volume one. What did I like about this volume the most? I think it was the revelation... Continue Reading →
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 →
There, I said it. That's all there is to it. What's this? I should probably give you a little more than that? Persuade you, you say. Alright, don't get your feathers ruffled like so, I'll do it. I've taken the initiative now. Volume 01: Awakening has a unique art style, slick and gorgeous, showcasing the... Continue Reading →
