Hawkeye: Volume 1 – My Life as a Weapon When I first heard of this title, I really had no interest in reading it. After all, he is probably the least exciting member of The Avengers. But the praise for the book has been strong, so when I saw it on the shelves of the…

The Walking Dead – Finally Home?
I just finished watching Season 5 of The Walking Dead and saw these graphic novels in the public library. Pretty soon, the television series will be completely caught up with the books. I wonder what will happen then? I try to write my reviews without spoilers, but if you are a big fan of the…

I read the first five volumes a while back and decided to binge read the next five, since they were sitting on the library shelf practically begging me to.

Daredevil Secrets from Fan Expo Toronto
I love going to FanExpo in Toronto every year. It’s pretty much the last event of the summer and is always a great way to wrap up the season. I was really hoping to find a Daredevil baseball cap this year. I’ve wanted a DD hat for my collection for years. I was very happy…

In this story, Spider-Man…

Skip Star Trek: The New Adventures, Trust Me!
Star Trek: The New Adventures (Volume 1) This is probably the worst Star Trek comic in existence. And I guess that makes sense since it was meant to bridge between the two latest movies. This reboot with a new cast failed miserably in my humble opinion. I have always loved Star Trek and was hoping this comic…
