Alienated #1 Review Alienated #1 from BOOM! Studios is coming in hot right after highly acclaimed Once and Future and Something is Killing the Children. I've always found these indie reads refreshing, something Image has been doing for years while smaller publishers like BOOM! and Aftershock are really beginning to hit their stride.

Once & Future. More Like, Gran Helsing.
Once & Future #1 Review It's nice to see a Boom! Studios book on shelves getting some hype behind it. I don't get to review Boom! Studios books enough, and Kieron Gillen and Dan Mora's Once & Future is deserving of attention. Kieron Gillen is no stranger to hype. We're talking the co-creator of The Wicked + The Divine, Phonogram, and the latest hot book Die. So … [Read more...]

Munchkin #1 review Munchkin, the RPG-like card game that I've always been curious about but too cheap to buy. Maybe I'm a little complacent in the fact that I really haven't tried that hard to play it, or maybe I've been a little scared to, card games can be confusing, and a game meant for ages 10+ that could confuse me is intimidating. Well I can worry a little less now as … [Read more...]
