I’m touring the black market, and you’re my fourth stop. I’m getting bored. So either you tell me you traded with that dead Voin, or I’ll see if I can put a you-shaped hole in this wall. Keep reading for a review of Transformers #9 (2019).
Dark Horse Books has been releasing a steady stream of stand-alone short stories by Neil Gaiman, each of them illustrated by a prominent artist. The latest one (due out on August 20th) manages to once again do the impossible: it takes a story that I already thought was perfect and makes it even better. Click

This last flood, the one you call the Big Water, ended the Fifth World and began the Sixth. It opened the passage for those like myself to return to the world. The climate disaster that left a lot of the world underwater also left the Navajo reservation mostly untouched. Not that the Dinétah is an
I’m playing catchup again this month: three series I’ve been reading all had issues this week, keep reading for reviews of Skyward #14, Middlewest #8, and Monstress #23.
This past weekend I was lucky enough to have been given the opportunity to see Disneyland’s newest “land” inspired by the Star Wars Universe: Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Replacing the Big Thunder Ranch area located behind Thunder Mountain and spreading all the way around the backside of the park towards Critter Country, it’s a completely
