Review: Hexed by Michael Alan Nelson and Emma Rios
May 21, 2015The cover chatter boasts this is ″the new Buffy″ to which I say meh. Don’t get me wrong I absolutely loved this graphic novel, from ″Lucifer″ herself, to the bold colors and art. But this isn’t Buffy. For one Lucifer is a thief, mainly she steals from demons, and often she steals things back for […]
Review: Chalice by Robin McKinley
May 5, 2015Robin McKinley is a favorite of mine, my go-to author for high fantasy. She has a lovely, dreamy, fairy tale style without a glut of Names with Apostrophes, characters who die off regularly or book stop size tomes. Chalice is everything you’d want in a standard fairy tale. There’s a pretty girl with a magical […]

A Bad Day for Voodoo by Jeff Strand
August 30, 2013Oh, goodness, where to start? Is there any “good” day for voodoo revenge on a mean teacher who failed you just because he doesn’t like you? Or any good day to travel through the slums and get car jacked trying to undo a too-effective revenge spell? Over the top, hilarious and more than a little […]
Review: Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Predators and Prey
May 31, 2013This volume of BtVS season eight is for fans, not newcomers. It’s not really a book that pushes forward the drama of Twilight, the secret anti-Slayer group that’s trying to destroy every Slayer on the streets. This collection of comics serves as housekeeping, as well as character and world building asides. Perhaps channeling the modern […]
