High Ways #3 Review: This is another great issue from John Byrne. However, as we head into the last issue I wonder if there is enough time to do anything satisfying with the series. Not that Byrne has given me any … Continue reading
Star Wars #3 Comic Book Review – Dark Horse, Brian Wood, Carlos D’Anda
Star Wars #3 Review Short Version: Brian Wood’s Star Wars continues to be the best thing I have read in the much-beleaguered sci-fantasy universe for some time (mind you, I’ve not read everything). Wood has his own take on the characters that provide them … Continue reading

Saga #10 Review -
Saga #10 Review Short Version: There’s not much left to say about the work Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples do on Saga. Saga #10 is really no different. It’s another great issue, it’s as easy as that. Relationships continue … Continue reading
Jinnrise #2 Review – Sohabi Awan, Tony Vassallo, IDW Publishing
Jinnrise #2 Review Short Version: Jinnrise is probably my biggest pleasant surprise of the year so far. The six-part series from Sohaib Awan and Tony Vassallo is great fun to read but asks enough questions about the characters and who they are … Continue reading
