Insomnia and other stories

Insomnia by Sarah Pinborough I figured I should have just one more spooky book to close out Halloween. Well technically it’s more thriller than horror but it has several hallmarks such as crazy killers, superatural threat and the prevailing theme that seeps through ever horror and thriller, who can you trust and can you ever…

Boxers, Saints and Little Women

This historical saga by Gene Luen Yang imparts the history of the Boxer Rebellion from the people in the rebellion rather than the dusty old textbooks focusing on the Europeans views of things. Filled with tragedy, magical realism and some humor with expressive visuals that keep the story moving.

Archie Horror Presents

Chilling Adventures in Sorcery This anathology features scary yet humorous stories as Madam Satan encounters the death stories of our favorite redhead and his hungry buddy. The fact that they’re there is more horrifying to Iola than their stories which was quite funny. I guess she had enough of teenagers during her time standing as…

Archie and Katy Keene Review

The third volume of Nick Spencer’s run bringing Katy Keene to the new world of Riverdale brought me disappointment unfortunately.

The Archie Encyclopedia

Just like it says on the title, this comprehensive compedium is perfect for new fans and old. Not only does it deliver all the characters you love as well as many one-offs like Toño Diaz, Juanita and others that I was sure they’d miss. It also features favorite places and other timelines of Archie. For…

Jughead Vol. 2 Review

After Stranger’s ousting, Jughead is ready to go back to his normal schedule of video games and burritos (and burgers, and chicken wings, and milkshakes, and fries, and bacon, and popcorn and you get the idea) all summer long. Until his Dad kicks him out to hang out in the fresh air and sun. So…
