Previous || Next Joy to the world, I'm but a step away from the seventh and last volume of Doctor Aphra's first run. Between you and me, dear reader, I loved this volume. Loved it. Remember how I told you not to get used to the consistent art style and direction of the previous volume?... Continue Reading →

Previous || Next The good Doctor is back, and running for her life with her dearest pal, the homicidal protocol droid Triple-Zero.

Sunday Star Wars: Darth Maul by Cullen Bunn – Graphic Novel Review
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 →
Star Wars Sunday: Wot I’ve Got to Catch Up On! Comics and Books!
No matter how widely you read, there's always new Star Wars titles to check out. I have no ambition of reading all of them; I don't even have the desire to do so. Not all Star Wars releases are good - something the latest movie has reminded us all too well. But I refuse to... Continue Reading →

This week's picks are some of the most important, influential and beloved of all X-Men characters...as well as some less-known characters, which never the less have great importance within the X-Men continuum! Hold on to yo butts! Lorna Dane, aka Polaris: Magneto's... Continue Reading →
Sunday Comix – Defining the X-Men in a sentence, Vol. 01
Sundays are for...defining comic book characters in a single ridiculous sentence! It seems only right to start off this incredible, mind-blowing series with the original five X-Men! But what kind of a monster would I be if I didn't start off with the most overused and well- known Canadian runt in the entire multiverse?! James Howlett, aka... Continue Reading →
