There's a lot of great stuff in this collection, but it does lose something from the absence of Steve Rude in most of the issues. I think it shows how symbiotic the writer/artist relationship can be in comics that the plots and coherence do flag a bit in some of the non-Rude issues -- not that they ...
Nexus always travels somewhere between superhero story and space opera, and it's in this volume that the pendulum really begins to swing toward the latter. In a way that feels entirely organic, the stories begin to rely less and less on Nexus' personal mission and more on the moon of Ylum and an eve...
Of course, being a volume collecting issues of an ongoing comic series, you can't judge this as a novel, not even as a novel in a series of novels. As a collection of issues there's a lot of great stuff here, but reading it as a book can be a little frustrating because it's between the introductory ...
This is a really fun read and perfect for summer when novels can be overwhelming. You can pick this up and read a story in an hour, put it down and then read another one.

The stories are ...
Masked is a collection of short stories about superheroes--the good, the bad, and the ugly. I've never reviewed something like this before, so I hope the format works. The stories (and my thoughts on some of 'em):Cleansed and Set in Gold by Matthew SturgesA somewhat-disturbing story about where The ...
I don't actually have this book, instead I've been reading and re-reading the original issues contained herein for more than a decade. I have added it here because goddammit I want to raise awareness of the wonderfulness that is Badger, the most eccentric and wonderful superhero of all time, for my ...
