This past Thanksgiving weekend Disney released the sequel to 2012’s Wreck-It Ralph: Ralph Breaks the Internet, bringing back the cast of wonderful arcade characters you know and love for further adventures throughout the world of video games. But this time they go to the Internet, thus more adventure and comedy with Ralph and Vanellope von Schweetz ensues. What

Review: The Consuming Fire (The Interdependency #2)

Hey, you know what, basing an entire system of social, political and economic control on the vague, all-too-easily misinterpreted words of a single person claiming divine inspiration is probably not actually all that smart, now, is it.” In the second book of John Scalzi’s Interdependency series, the vital link between interstellar systems – The Flow

Review – Optimus Prime #25

It’s finally here: the final issue of IDW’s Transformers (this current incarnation anyway, the reboot is scheduled for next year sometime.) I can’t really talk about the issue without spoilers, so if you haven’t read it yet you might want to go read the issue first. (And you should read it even if you don’t

Review: Limetown – A Novel

“You’re not telling me everything.” “No, I am not.” “Why?” She stood by the window; sprinkles beat the pane. “Because I’m still afraid. And you should be too.” “Of what?” “Of what happens,” Mrs. Sinnard said, “when your uncle is around.” On February 8, 2004, in the mysterious research facility known as Limetown, three hundred

Review – Unicron #6

It’s the final issue of the Unicron saga, and I was going to say “it’s the end of an era” but we’re not quite there yet: Optimus Prime #25 comes out next week and will finish up the IDW Transformers books. I think I would’ve liked the Unicron book to be the final chapter in

Review: In The Vanisher’s Palace

Elevator pitch for In The Vanisher’s Palace: lesbian Beauty and the Beast and the beast is a dragon. Although it had ME at “new book by Aliette de Bodard” — Carl Rigney (@carlrigney) October 16, 2018 That was the tweet that got me to immediately buy a copy of Aliette de Bodard’s latest book. It’s

Review – Transformers Lost Light #25 (a conversation)

(Massive great big spoilers below.) Kathryn …how the heck do we start a conversation about this one? Elizabeth Probably with what you told me when you finished it. “Siiigh. All the feels.” And then I’ll say “Man oh man.” Kathryn Yes, and I’ll add “I had no idea what to expect from this issue. Never

Review – Watersnakes

I seriously don’t know where to begin with this book.  It’s beautiful, except when it’s grotesque. It’s a straightforward adventure, except when it goes completely off the rails. It’s a fairy tale except when it’s a coming-of-age story, except when it’s a comedy, except when it’s a mystery, except when it’s a myth, except when
