With Matchless I’m at review 52! CANNONBALL! I don’t expect to do this again, I had to sacrifice longer novels for shorter ones to meet the goal and stretch with some graphic novels at the end but I’m satisfied with my reviews and enjoyed the challenge of pushing myself to stay on a reading and writing schedule. Apologies to my work for the countless lunch hours (and sometimes beyond) spent writing these up. On to review 52! Matchless began its life a spoken word performance […]
The round headed buffoon goes on a series of holidays. (“It’s not a holiday!” – R. Gervais)
Written during season one of the SKY1 show, An Idiot Abroad, this diary goes a bit more in depth for the various trips that make up the season. The concept for the first season of the show was to send eternally put upon Karl Pilkington around the world to see the Seven Modern Wonders of the World. Unlike the show, the diary goes in chronological order with Karl heading to Egypt to see the Great Pyramid (in the show he goes to China first). Along […]
Super spy Cinderella is tasked with stopping a killer in Fabletown
The short lived Fables offshoot, Fairest, wrapped up at the same time as its parent title(insert Farewell link).

Fairest: In All the Land is not an issue compilation, but a single story told through a mixture of long form text and illustrations. Fables writer […]
Good news if you hate the movie!
I have good news for you if you hated the movie adaptation of Cowboys & Aliens! Other than the title, the graphic novel and the movie have absolutely nothing in common. The characters are different, the story is different, the aliens are different, their motives are different, the weapons are different, it’s a completely different story. Makes you wonder why they adapted the movie at all if they were just going to throw the entire story out the window and start over. In the book […]
Powerful Batman story comes to a haunting conclusion

“Hush little baby, don’t say a word…”
After rescuing a kidnapped child from the monstrous Killer Croc, Batman goes in pursuit of Catwoman after she nabbed the pay off money. High above the rooftops, someone cuts Batman’s grappling rope. He breaks his fall – and shoulder – clutching on to a gargoyle before plummeting to the ground in a dank alley.
