Manga and Comic Reviews
I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned this before, but I read a lot of the scanlations for “Gantz” prior to picking up Dark Horse’s English release of the series. I had read up to vol. 14 around four or five years ago before stopping for reasons that I can’t remember. Now that vol. 15 is finally […]
With the next volume currently on order from Amazon, I thought I’d dust this off and give it another read-through. It got lost in the review shuffle after San Diego and I always meant to get around to it since I remembered liking it after going through it a few months back. Now that I’ve […]

Robert Kirkman is one of the few writers to have lighting strike twice when it comes to finding success with his creator-owned books. I don’t think I need to say anything more about the success of “The Walking Dead,” and “Invincible” is still going strong at 75 issues and thirteen collections so far. Not one […]
