Review – Legend of Wonder Woman #1

The first issue of DC’s 9-issue Wonder Woman series is in stores tomorrow. In a few months we’ll finally see Wonder Woman on the big screen in Batman v Superman, and this new series is DC’s attempt to make the Wonder Woman character resonate with people the same way Bats and Supes have for years. So how’re

Review: The Night Parade

Kathryn Tanquary has created a beautiful story of magic, spirits, family, and growing up. It takes place in rural Japan, and each character is more bizarre and whimsical than the last. While the plot is often simplistic and random, younger readers might enjoy the adventure. I kept hoping for some kind of logic to Saki’s journey

Review: Tyson Hesse’s Diesel #4

Look, man. I’m not exactly what you’d call a “history expert.” If it happened before I was born, how important could it really be? I’d thought by the end of Diesel #3 that Dee was well into her “growing the hell up” phase, when she realized that her whole “sitting back and waiting for the

Review – Transformers Holiday Special

If you’re looking for one of those sappy, cheesy, awkward holiday specials, this is not that book. If you’re looking for serious, gut-wrenching, intense drama…this is also not that book. The Transformers Holiday Special is ridiculously fun. It pokes fun at itself and any other holiday trope it can reach, but the writing and artwork

Review: Star Wars – Darth Plagueis

“Evil?” Plagueis repeated. “What is that? Moments ago you defined yourself as a storm. You said you were death itself. Are you evil, then, or are you simply stronger and more awake than others?” The question that Darth Sidious’s Master asks his new apprentice is probably the simplest demonstration of the difference between the Light
