Not all spirits are bad, and not all spirits are good, but how do you tell when they have your best intentions in mind? (Sounds kind of like any other friendship, huh?) Anya’s Ghost is a graphic novel that features a short little story about a teenage girl named Anya, who moved to America from Russia at a young age. She isn’t doing great in school, and doesn’t feel like she truly fits in: she has one close friend named Siobhan, who isn’t really all that […]
A picture book for grownups
I think that there must be a moment during everyone’s childhood when you realize that adults are not infallible, not even your own parents. Over twenty years later, I can still remember my own personal moment, and those feelings are captured perfectly in Louis Undercover, written by playwright Fanny Britt and beautifully illustrated by Isabelle Arsenault. Louis is a young boy whose parents have separated. He and his little brother, Truffle, are shuttled between their mother’s apartment in the city and their father’s house in the […]
Daredevil in the Detail
I polished off Daredevil: End of Days in one go. There is a hook in the very beginning that isn’t answered until the very end and it was definitely the curiosity to know the meaning of a whispered word that kept the midnight oil burning.

I remember a Spider-Man-Daredevil comic cross-over I must have got as a freebie somewhere and I had no interest in the Ben […]
Getting on the Saga Bandwagon
I’ve seen friends and others rave about the amazingness of the Saga series for some time now. After finally getting around to reading volume 1, I can now say I get it, I finally understand what the fuss is about. The world of the story is interesting and makes you want to know and understand more of the history and various races and planets involved, the characters are unique and engaging, and the different plot threads being set up all each intriguing but clearly somehow […]
Every Witch Needs a Warrior Girlfriend
I spent years at conventions admiring the single issues of this comic and waiting for the day when they would be collected. Finally, my friends, that day has come.
Bats gets a dose of Karma from Shiva
Picked this up at the library and enjoyed it. Cassandra Cain alias Orphan is a very interesting character in the DC Rebirth Universe and this particular graphic novel expands her character for the first time since her intro back in the Batman: Eternal books. Ras Al Ghul shows up to make veiled hints about things that he is up to and Cassandra gets a mother. Everybody gets beat up and our heroes save the day. Looks like this particular series is going down a magic […]
