Heavenly Delusion vol. 1

The anime season from Spring of 2023 was an unusually bountiful one for myself, Steve, and whoever else decided to join us on our weekly viewing sessions.  Not only were we watching eight series at once (the most we’ve ever done before or since) but we continued to watch series from that season through the […]

Wonder Woman by Tom King vol. 1: Outlaw

He’s had a lengthy run on “Batman.”  He’s also done a really good “Superman” miniseries.  Now writer Tom King completes his DC Trinity trifecta with his and artist Daniel Sampere’s first volume of the ongoing “Wonder Woman” series.  It’s also off to a great start too as the creators have found a worthy adversary to […]

1949

Detective Sebastina Blank is one of the most brilliant homicide detectives around, having caught multiple killers over the years.  However, she’s currently facing her most challenging case as she tracks down the murderer known only as the Gray Water Killer.  Things are so bad that the FBI has even sent in an agent to help […]

Hex has been a vampire for over 350 years.  Steve has been one for just over six months.  They both hate it, but they’re still justifiably skeptical when a cure for their condition is suddenly dropped in their laps.  Smarmy upper-class vampire Anwar Gobin has found out where an item known as the Onyx Object, […]

Drifting Dragons vol. 16

After last volume’s Gibbs-centric drama, the focus shifts back towards dragons here.  Not just any dragon, but a majestic Deep Sky Dragon that’s slowly descending to Earth – the first time it has happened in over 200 years.  The crew of the Quin Zaza is clued into this by one Chika Taruka, a university student […]
