  • Archie vs the World

    It’s the 400th post already! I know I’m surprised too, and it’s not even this blog’s anniversary. Anyway, I thought I’d do another Archie post for the occasion and what better choice than the latest, epic one-shot Archie vs the World! Since the editors so enjoyed the team of Aubrey Sitterson’s writing and Jed Dougherty’s…

  • When Dimple Met Rishi Review

    This was a sweet romance coming from one of the most unexpected (and worst) first meetings. Rishi Patal comes up to introduce himself Dimple Shah, joking about starting their lives together as future husband and wife. Understandably, she not knowing who this wacko is, throws coffee in his face. Let’s back up a bit.

  • Beautiful Creatures Review

    I’ll admit I’m not coming to this blind as I read the sequel series first (I know, I know but Link and Ridley’s prologue for Dangerous Creatures was so much more intriguing to me than this one) and I saw the film adaptation when it first came out which is why I read said sequel…

  • Grishaverse: The Demon in the Wood Review

    Last year, Bardugo surprised fans with a prequel focusing on everyone’s favorite bad guy, the Darkling aka Aleksander. In graphic novel form! Now I’ll admit I’m not one of his many fans. Don’t get me wrong, he does his part well in being a worthy catalyst, villain, foil etc. But I didn’t fall for his…

  • Grishaverse: Rule of Wolves

    Well this was one epic book. Epic, epic all around and why wouldn’t it be as the Grishaverse approches the Age of Saints and end of the Grishaverse for now, according to Bardugo. As for the Age of Saints thing, it turns out Yuri got it right after all. Get ready because this is going…
