Hi Everyone! Long time no see! If you’re reading this, it’s probably because you a) found the site through a google search or blogroll link, or b) are trying to find me for my work at MMORPG.com. If you haven’t heard, that’s my new home now. Though, “new” probably isn’t the best descriptor anymore. I …

Guest article by Cohen of the PC Gaming Guru In recent years, tabletop gaming has experienced a bit of a renaissance – or, at the very least, a surge in popularity. This is partially due to web shows like Critical Role bringing the beauty of tabletop gaming into the public sphere. There’s no longer a …

Book Review: Little Heaven by Nick Cutter

July 27, 2016

Little Heaven is the latest, and perhaps greatest, horror novel from the mind of Nick Cutter. Like many readers, my first encounter with Nick’s work was with his fantastic debut, The Troop. Even having finished that novel a good four months ago, scenes from it still bubble up from my memory from time to time …

Book Review: Death Follows by Cullen Bunn

Categories:

March 16, 2016

Death Follows is unapologetically dark. Based on the title and cover art, I expected this, but it even surprised me. Having never read Mr. Bunn’s work before (this graphic novel is based upon a short story), I went into the tale not knowing what to expect. I left feeling unsettled because of it, so I’ll …

The Facts in the Case of the Departure of Miss Finch is an adaptation of a Neil Gaiman short story, first published in comic form in 2008. At the time of its release, I, sadly, had not yet discovered Mr. Gaiman. In the years since then, he has become one of my favorite authors in …

Book Review: Paleo – The Complete Collection by Jim Lawson

February 28, 2016

I went into Paleo with high hopes due to the author, Jim Lawson’s, pedigree. I didn’t quite what to expect, however, because the concept was rather hard to wrap my head around. A three hundred page graphic novel focusing on real-life dinosaurs. No anthropomorphizing them. No applying human thoughts or attributes, or breaking from the …

Book Review: Martian Manhunter: The Epiphany

February 15, 2016

I had never read Martian Manhunter before, so I was hesitant about picking this book up. I’m glad I did. Without any background going in, The Epiphany does a good job of introducing J’onn J’onnz, the titular Manhunter, who he is and what he stands for. This would be a typical superhero introduction if not …
