Silent Blade and Silver Shark by Ilona Andrews

16 September 2011 Jackie 2

I’m not a huge science fiction fan, but give me a good story or a fabulous teaser and I can be convinced to pick one up. That’s how I got hooked on Ann Aguirre’s Grimpsace series (gotta love that March POV) and that’s how I got hooked on Ilona Andrews […]

Pariah (Vol 2) by Aron Warner

1 September 2011 Jackie 0

With the monkey going nuts over superheroes and watching a ton of Justice League, Superman, Batman, etc, I’ve started reading more graphic novels/comic books and I’m wondering why I waited so long. They are a really quick and easy read (which the hubby is really enjoying right now), so when […]

Batman: Hush by J. Loeb

23 August 2011 Jesse 0

Batman means a lot of things to a lot of people; the dark night, the caped crusader – but perhaps one of the most central title is “The World’s Greatest Detective.”  Remember, Batman has no superpowers – just a lot of toys and a razor-sharp mind. A great Batman story […]

Sunday Surprise – DC Reboots

31 July 2011 Jackie 0

The monkey has gone nuts over superheroes and his favorites are Batman, Superman, Green Lantern and the Flash (basically the founding members of the Justice League). I’ve probably seen every cartoon DC Comics has ever made regarding these metahumans over the last year or so. It doesn’t help that Jesse […]

You ever read a book that leaves you speechless?  With loads much information, twists and turns that hits you so hard that you’re still trying to figure out what just happened after you’ve read the last page?  Well that’s what happened to me with Mad Skills by Walter Greatshell. Equal […]

V for Vendetta by A. Moore

22 July 2011 Jesse 0

In the Comic/Graphic Novel world, there are a few titles that are held up in high regard as being models for the genre- Akira, 300, Watchmen, The Crow, and so on. V for Vendetta by Alan Moore and David Lloyd is one of those books. For years I’d heard references […]

Superman: Red Son by M. Millar

12 July 2011 Jesse 0

So it’s come to this. To be honest, I hadn’t read any comics in several years. A series of events changed that: Constant stream of superhero movies (as many bad as good, sadly). Letting Jackie talk me into reviewing the Novelization of Final Crisis by Greg Cox The outstandingly funny […]

Peacebreakers by M. MacKay

1 June 2011 Lisa 4

Never in my life have I ever refused to finish a book.  I normally try to give the writer and story a chance and at the very least have enough curiosity to want to see how the book ends.  Unfortunately, Peacebreakers by Mindy MacKay has changed that.  I tried, I […]

Phantom Universe by L. Kreitzer

10 February 2011 Nikki R 2

I may not have watched Back to the Future, yeah I know how un-American haha, but I do enjoy the idea of time travel.  I’d go meet all the great people I could and watch how things were built and such.  I would LOVE a time machine; it’s every history […]
