  • DC Round-up

    Starfire Vol. 1-2 by Amanda Conner These two volumes starring everyone’s favorite Tamarian has the sun-kissed alien living in the tropical paradise of Florida as a way to distance herself from the drama of her relationship with Dick Grayson (who may or may not be dead?) and just general superheroing. Not that she doesn’t do…

  • Author Highlight: Greg Weisman

    I’m pretty sure Greg Weisman can do it all from television to comics to novels, all while splciing and mixing sci-fi, myth, Shakespeare, mystery and more. Clones, convulated Xanatos gambits, magic and technology tend to be staples of his work.

  • 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…
