Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by J.K. Rowling – A Book/Script Review
I admit that I can typically get caught up in a moment, but Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is my new favorite Harry Potter story. If you haven’t yet read it, I urge you to do so. Of course, it must be clarified that while this is in book format, it is not actually a…

All Star Batman #1 by Scott Snyder and John Romita, Jr. – A (Comic) Book Review
I’m the first to admit that Scott Snyder is a gifted writer. His take on Batman the last seven or so years has been innovative, captivating, and high-quality. His talent doesn’t end there, however. You need to read his seminal series, American Vampire, as well as his excellent short story collection, Voodoo Heart. All Star…
