Review:Ta-Nehisi I'm grateful that Jack Kirby and Stan Lee have accepted you into the world they created. As a Kenyan it is profound that the founders had the foresight to see beyond their country into the Universe that is the African Continent its people their cultural heritage resources and struggle s. I'm glad you did your research and used our languages it was exhilarating to read Swahili text you made it real. Read more

Some people love the Gods others think they are a nuisance or fraud. There is a murder, Lucifer aka Luci is framed and sent to jail.

I find many of image comics have beautiful art and this one is no different. Although I will say this the ar... Read more

Review:Bitch Planet is more of a collection of comics than a graphic novel. The story is one where women who are non-compliant are sent to live at the Auxillary Compliance Outpost, otherwise known as Bitch Planet. It's smart and snarky and feminist, and although the format isn't really my thing because I much prefer regular words on a page books, it's definitely worth picking up. Read more

Review:The art and creative concept are great, but I wasn't drawn in by the narrative the way I'd hoped. I got mostly the impression of a series of events and not a lot of overall intrigue. I'll probably read more in the series to see if that trend continues. Read more

Review:Since Paper Girls is an ongoing series rather than a miniseries, I'll be collecting both the monthly-release issues, and the trade paperbacks. The first five issues comprise an introductory arc; more questions asked than answered as we're taken from one bizarre predicament to the next.

The series is one of many comics to pay tribute to 1980's culture; it's been a bit of a trend lately. However, instead of focusing on the superficial spark and flash of that decade, we're offered more in th... Read more

Review:Written by Marjorie Liu (X-23, Black Widow) and illustrated by Sana Takeda (X-23, Ms. Marvel), Monstress stands distinctly apart from the usual sword & sorcery dark fantasy comic, starting with the fact that most of the main characters are female as are most of the powers that be. But this is no simplistic or heavy-handed feminist take on the genre - it's done very subtly and naturally so that we simply accept that this is the way this world is, nothing more, nothing less. The artwork is viv... Read more

Review:Not a comic book reader, but I enjoyed this. As always, soap opera rules apply, so you're jumping into the middle of an extraordinarily convoluted storyline. Characters you may not know abound. References are made that are probably explained elsewhere. But it's a fun little story nonetheless. Read more

Review:I gave Grant Morrison another chance reading this graphic novel after looking for a good Joker story. And not much has changed since I read Batman RIP. Luckily, I checked it out of the library instead of buying it like I did with Batman RIP. The art was really cool. Like others have mentioned, Joker's dialogue was really hard to read at times (I get that it represents Joker's madness), but it made the story more challenging. I honestly don't remember much of the story as it never intrigued me e... Read more

Review:A fantastic read, I wasn't sure which batman book I would read first but I eventually came to the conclusion that The Long Halloween was the choice for me. A great murder mystery with the villains of Batman you've come to known well. Read more
