Above-the-Board Recommendation: Uri Tupka and the Gods: Another Tale From Lands Unknown It turns out we didn’t have to wait that long for creator Mike Mignola to return to his newest fictional universe. This second installment of “From Lands Unknown” is set to arrive a little over a year after the first and may be […]
The last time I checked in on this series it had just finished up its second arc where Chise and Elias started attending a college for magic users and wound up stopping a power-mad sorceress from using the power of a dead god to resurrect her son. Vol. 20 features a little bit of follow-on […]
The club keeps ticking along even as they try to figure out what their next project is supposed to be. Inspiration comes from the most unlikely of sources, however, when voice-acting congirl Sakurada gets a look at “Tanuki El Dorado” and proceeds to write a critique that shakes Asakusa to her core. Being the trooper […]

Above-the-Board Recommendation: The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service Omnibus vol. 6 This gets the top spot again because it’s been re-solicited for January 2026. It’ll keep getting the top spot until it’s finally released because I want to make people aware of when it’s coming out so that they’ll buy it when it finally does and […]

I was thinking about skipping a writeup of vol. 30 for this series. Why? Because it was just more of the same expertly executed superhero fighting that we’ve been seeing for a while now. The stakes get larger as Black Spermatozoon takes on a more powerful form, Garo re-emerges from the underground, and Homeless Emperor […]
