Review: The Nice House On The Lake – The Deluxe Edition

“How do you think the world will end?” The next book in my “reviews for graphic novels Elizabeth got me for Christmas” series is the deluxe hardback edition of The Nice House On The Lake, and it’s little more recent than the one from my last review. And also darker. Not just darker than the

Review: Lazarus Volume One – Family

I’m just a little bit late getting to the Lazarus series (this graphic novel was first published more than a decade ago).

Review: Storm and Fury (The Harbinger, #1)

“Something has the Upper Level demons afraid enough that they’ve all gone into hding.” Nicolai was speaking again. “And that something is killing us – killing Wardens.” Hey everybody, did you hear?
