  • Hamilton and Peggy: A Revolutionary Friendship Review

    Hamilton and Peggy is a perfect addition for a Hamilton fan or a historical fiction fan. L.M. Elliot skillfully interweaves historical facts and documents with emotional resonance that makes these characters don’t feel like disnant historical figures or amazing musical heroes but just real people living in the Revolution.

  • Betty and Veronica: The Bond of Friendship Review

    A serviceable entry into the Archie-verse of stories as part of their new Blue Ribbon imprint which is specifically for the company’s graphic novels. I enjoyed Brittany Williams’ pie-eyed style with its vivid, bubblt color palette which perfectly fit the tone of the story of various imaginative scenarios of potential B&V career aspirations. Rather than…

  • Reggie and Me Review

    Part of the New Archie Comics that seeks to bring that Archie brand of humor and hijinks with some more realism and depth, Tom DeFalco’s look into Riverdale’s resident class clown and town jerk is superb.

  • Bloody Jack Review

    Ah yes, the first in L.A Meyer’s ship-faring, sailor girl series. I actually have this series before, and by read, I meant skimmed. So while I knew the basics of the plot, this is my first time actually reading it, and I enjoyed it very much.

  • Josie and the Pussycats Vol 1 Review

    I’ll admit I was one of the ones who was not on board with Archie Comics’ new look and didn’t want to read any of their new material. However, a few years ago I caved and was pleasantly surprised. It surpassed my expectations in how they combined the traditional Josie antics with a more “realistic” feel.

  • Superman Smashes the Klan Review

    This was an excellent graphic novel based upon a little known radio play (at least to me) where Superman fights the KKK.  Set just after WWII, Superman is fighting off the few Nazis who haven’t realized they’ve lost the war, and in doing so, comes into contact with kryptonite for the first time, making him…
