Review: The Graveyard Book Graphic Novel, volume 1

Neil Gaiman and P. Craig Russell’s The Graveyard Book Graphic Novel: Volume One arrives in bookstores on July 29th, but I just finished reading my copy a few minutes ago. I’m a book reviewer, we have our ways. (It involves a lot of shameless begging for review copies. I regret nothing!) It’s worth the wait.

Review: Megatokyo Omnibus Edition

I stumbled across a beat-up, dog-eared copy of Megatokyo Volume 1 at the library ten years ago, and loved it so much I had to go buy my own copy, even though you can read it for free at megatokyo.com. Fred Gallagher’s art is so charming, with such a great story, it’s one of those
