A few readers may stop by this column to get a balanced critique of Adam Warren’s Empowered Volume 7. I’ll tell you right now: you ain’t gonna get it. This isn’t so much an article by a book reviewer as it is a love-letter to a comic by a fangirl. I’m about to sing this
As I’m writing this, we are days away from the release of Adam Warren’s Empowered Volume 7. (If you’re reading this on May 30 I’m probably at the comic shop right now buying my copy.) I’d hoped to have a review of the book already written, but the preview copy I’d been very generously given

Assemble here my geeks, nerds, friends, friends of nerds, nerdy friends, geeky… ah you get it. Today is the day that we have been waiting our collective lifetimes for. Today is the day that The Avengers hits that magical silver screen and comes to life in a way that we have only dreamed of as
In the mid-18th Century the streets of Baltimore are gripped in fear as a series of grotesque murders have the people locking their doors and praying for relief. In times as dark as these who better to call on as their savior from evil but the Movie Issues Boys: Leland & Spooky, out to take
(For anybody who’s wondering, I promise I’ll eventually review a book written in the past five years, it won’t always be these decades-old books. Honest. I promise.) Like many people I read the first four books of Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guild series and stopped there. I’d heard the fifth book, Mostly Harmless, wasn’t as good,
