Review: Emily and the Strangers

The newest Emily the Strange collection is now available in hardcover from Dark Horse; Emily and the Strangers continues the story of Rob Reger’s cute little sociopath and her cats.

Review: Serenity – Leaves On the Wind

What Firefly fans want most is not a second season that picks up ten years after the last episode. They don’t want a Serenity Two that meets up with our favorite characters a decade later. What fans want most is a second season that picks up exactly where season one left off; same characters, same
