Rick and Neegan (More Alike Than Different?)
I still enjoy The Walking Dead comic series. It’s always nice to see the graphic novels showing up at the library. Here are the latest two volumes I read and my thoughts on them. There are minor spoiler alerts ahead. The Walking Dead Vol 29 – Lines We Cross I will recap some elements of this story without…

The 11th Doctor Still Travels with The Ponds
The Eleventh Doctor Archives: Volume 2 I haven’t read Volume 1 of this collection, but I would like to. I read graphic novels out of order all the time, simply due to the fact that I borrow whatever is available from the public library when I visit one of the branches. I really loved the…

Adventures in Space via Comics
Here are the latest graphic novels I copped from the public library and my thoughts on them. Captain Marvel – Alis Volat Propriis I have to admit, I don’t know much about the character of Captain Marvel. My exposure to her comes from the Civil War crossover event, and the appearances she has made in…

Hawkeye – Avenging Archer
My introduction to Hawkeye was through the Avengers movies. I knew very little about the character prior to that and, frankly, didn’t find him all that compelling. I reluctantly picked up the 2013 comic book series a few years back and was pleasantly surprised by it. It was a great read that I thoroughly enjoyed.…

Doctor Who Comics Continue the Adventure
Doctor Who – Time Trials / The Terror Beneath I found this at the library and thought it would be great to read, especially because it was labelled “Volume 1” on the spine. Unfortunately, this is not the first chapter of the on-going series for the Twelfth Doctor. It is the first volume of the…

Doctor Strange and a Librarian
Doctor Strange, Vol. 1: The Way of the Weird This is the first book in the 2015 series of trade paperbacks. It’s a pretty good jumping in point for anyone unfamiliar with the character. Although I would suggest watching the 2016 live action film featuring Benedict Cumberbatch first. It’s a great starting point and will…

Another Superman Origin Story
Superman – Earth One: Volume One I know, we don’t really need another retelling on Superman’s origin story. But the Earth One line from DC shakes things up. It feels like superheroes could really be a reality in our every day lives right now. There’s an immediacy to this series that is intriguing. I was…
