I never thought that a conversation between Black Bolt and The Absorbing Man (aka Crusher Creel) would take up a whole comic. I would have laughed at you if you told me it was one of the most poignant, thoughtful comics you've read. But it was. It was about family, about life, about what ...
And I'm not just talking about the lush art that is full of color and movement. No, no, no. The writing is just as lush, just as full. It makes Black Bolt relatable, and although I thought this would make him less intriguing - there's something about him being impenetrable, so much higher than...
For those who don't remember, I questioned why Black Bolt would be muzzled given the revelations at the end, said I'd be disappointed if it wasn't dealt with, and said I was sure it would be given how much thought Saladin Ahmed had put into this book. Well, it was dealt with in this issue. I had...
It was the codes that got me out of bed this morning, but this. Guys. This. This is, by far, the best thing to happen to me today. And yes, this is going to be a blatant love letter, not only to Black Bolt himself, but to Saladin Ahmed and Christian Ward - aka my favorite new comics writer/a...

The publisher also released a soundtrack to go with the book today if you want to read what I thought of it, click here. --- Heller insists in his Afterword that this is not a collection of Cyberpunk stories, and who am I to doubt him? Although it feels pretty punk to ignore the Editor/The Man. It s...
My fricking heart man, this book was so good. I mean it was good and then it got great and now I'm emotionally comprised. Really looking forward to the next novel!!
Rags & Bones is billed as a book of "New Twists on Timeless Tales", which, silly me, I thought would mean a book of fairytale retellings. (I love fairytale retellings, especially because I'm on a Once Upon A Time kick at the moment.) Although there are a couple of fairytales covered - "Sleeping Beau...
Resorting to the blurb for a plot summary, because I need to get my reviews up to date, and trying to come up with my own synopsis takes too long: The Crescent Moon Kingdoms are at a boiling point. A struggle between the iron-fisted Khalif and the mysterious Falcon Prince is reaching its climax. I...
