Cave Carson Has a Cybernetic Eye by Gerard Way, Jon Rivera, and Michael Avon Oeming- A (Comic) Book Review
It’s not often I buy a single-issue comic book (or, as I affectionately refer to them – floppies), but I could not resist this issue due to the title alone. Cave Carson would not have garnered my curiosity, but Cave Carson Has a Cybernetic Eye? Yes, that’s the kind of title that demands my attention.…

Star Wars: Ahsoka by EK Johnston – A Book Review
Perhaps the greatest Star Wars character to never actually appear in one of the films, Ahsoka Tano broke out during the animated Clone Wars series. If you’re unfamiliar with her, she once served as Anakin Skywalker’s Padawan. She and Anakin had an incredible bond, and when she left the Jedi Order, it broke Anakin’s heart.…

Tony and Susan by Austin Wright – A Book Review
A checked this book out because I read in Entertainment Weekly about a film adaptation coming soon called Nocturnal Animals. Tony and Susan originally published in 1993. The author died ten years later. The EW article made the premise sound fascinating, so I couldn’t wait to read the book. The plot is that Susan Morrow…

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…

Black Science: The Beginner’s Guide To Entropy by Rick Remender and Matteo Scalera – A Book Review
This beautiful hardcover collects issues 1-16 of the Black Science comic book series. You may remember I reviewed a collected edition of Black Science encompassing issues 1-6 back in 2014. At the time, I loved the art, I loved the concept, I loved the colors, I just didn’t love the characters – I never felt…

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…

Wonder Woman: Earth One by Grant Morrison – A Book Review
Grant Morrison is a luminary in the comic book industry. He has earned every bit of adulation he has acquired over the years. He is incredibly imaginative and fearless. Frankly, though, I’ve always found him to be better at big ideas than actual execution. In past books I’ve read, the concept is always amazing, yet…

The Hellblazer: Rebirth #1 – A (Comic Book) Review
The Hellblazer: Rebirth #1 is one of my favorite comics so far in the Rebirth initiative because it’s very well written and very well drawn. I’ll admit, though almost 40 years old, I have very limited knowledge when it comes to John Constantine. I think my first encounter with him was the 2005 movie. I…
