Review: Emissaries From The Dead

“Did you kill Warmuth or Santiago?” “No,” he said. “I did not. But you have to keep something in mind.” “What’s that?” “That if I was the killer, I’d be saying the same thing.” It’s a locked-room mystery on a grand scale: two deliberate murders on an enormous artificial habitat so dangerous that you can

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. The story is fun, but it’s Emily Ivie’s art that jumped out at me. It’s startlingly good. I haven’t run across Ivie before, but I’ll

Review: The City and the Stars

Reading through Arthur C. Clarke’s Wikipedia page makes me think of those “The Most Interesting Man In The World” commercials. Clarke’s biography includes being lieutenant in the RAF during WWII, a scuba diver and discoverer of the sunken original Koneswaram temple off the coast of Sri Lanka, an inventor and futurist (he was one of the first

Review: Son of Batman

The DC Animated movies sure have made a name for themselves. They have offered not only top notch animation, but some of the best stories of DC Comics. Looking forward to the next film is a bit of an understatement. After the mediocre JLA War, I was beginning to worry that the plague known as the New
