• Nightwing

  Since reading about Marvel’s best couple and leading calender man, I decided I’d give one of DC’s top hotties a look. As you can guess by the title I’m talking about the Flying Grayson! These five volumes by Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo highlight how Nightwing is the best of the new generation of heroes.…

• Gotham City Sirens (2024)

  It’s been years since their original series and in teh decades since fans have been clamoring for the return of Gotham’s most famous villainesses. Finally the DC gods have heard their pleas with a 4 issue mini-series. It was. . . okay. Now I’m not a regular DC comic reader so maybe there have been…

• Asgardians: Odin Review

  Since I loved, loved, loved O’Connor’s Olympians series, I obviously had to check out his newest offering. The Asgardians! A quartet on the slightly less popular but just as well known Norse pantheon. As one can guess, the first book focuses on the All-Father, Odin, leader of the Aesir Gods and covers the creation myth…

• Isabel and the Rogue Review

  Isabel Luna is like the Jan Brady of the Brady Bunch. A middle sister longing to break out of everyone’s shadow and be more than people think of her. That’s what the author initially believed of her creation too, but as you get to know Isabel, the reader and one Captain Sirius Dovan learn there’s…

  It’s always a delight to return to the world of the Four Nations and the Avatar that keeps them in balance. Here, Ribay delves into one of the most well-known of them all, at least if you watched the original series. Roku, Aang’s predescessor whose friendship with Fire Lord Sozin is a bond turned tragic.

• Twisted Tales: Suddenly Super Review

  What if Violet was an Agent of Syndrome? This was another solid addition to the Twisted Tales series. It’s unfortunate this tale is only available out of the U.S. because Calonita does a great job on the first Pixar-based tale. All from Violet’s POV, Calonita explores the girl’s negative feelings about her powers. Since being…
