Review: Dream Thief #1
Dream Thief begins by posing a question to the reader, “What would you do if you woke up in a strange room and you didn’t know where you were, or what you’d done the night before to get there.” What begins as a story of a cheating alcoholic soon turns to a journey of psychological [...]

Review: Multiple Warheads
Not gaining a full comprehension of the world that is “Multiple Warheads” is one of Graham’s most charming characteristics within his writings. Frame after frame I was questioning the contents of what was occurring in the world. Once I finally let go of all predetermined notions of normalcy in modern fiction I was able to [...]
REVIEW: Billy the Kid’s: Old Timey Oddities and the Orm of Loch Ness

REVIEW: ORCHID VOLUME 1 TPB
When the seas rose, genetic codes were smashed. Human settlements are ringed by a dense wilderness from which ferocious new animal species prey on the helpless. The high ground belongs to the rich and powerful that overlook swampland shantytowns from their fortress-like cities. Iron-fisted rule ensures order and allows the wealthy to harvest the poor as slaves.
Delve into the first chapter of Orchid, the tale of a teenage prostitute who learns that she is more than the role society has imposed upon her.

Ryan’s REVIEWS: Green Wake #8
Issue eight of Green Wake has little narrative to offer, but as always, maintains its continuity of its looming sense of doom. It’s strange the way Green Wake is written, even though there is little dialogue to be said the imagery is more than enough to develop something of a story and so are it’s [...]

Review: X-Men Destiny
The purifiers must have worked with the developers of X-Men Destiny to make our favorite muties more mutated than ever with it’s frail customization features, lackluster combat, and yawn worthy visuals.

Stabbing Mountains In HD
I admit it: I’m one of those losers who had a broken PS2 when Shadow of the Colossus was first released in 2005. I always heard amazing rants from friends and customers alike. I missed out on a core game that has set new standards that no one has attempted to emulate. Which is why [...]
