Iron Fist Finds Himself
Iron Fist – The Trial of the Seven Masters This is the first Iron Fist comic that I have ever read. It’s not the first time I’ve come across the character, however. I have read stories that featured him in several different titles, but I never really got into the character. I enjoyed the Netflix…

Saga – Pushing Comics Further
Saga: Volume 1 – 8 by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples It’s hard to explain exactly what this comic book series is all about. If I try to summarize it, some of the magic will no doubt be lost. Suffice it to say, this series pushes the medium of comic storytelling into new realms.…

Doctor Who Comes to Life on the Page
Doctor Who – Weapons of Past Destruction I miss the 9th Doctor. This book reminded me of why I used to love seeing Chris Eccleston in the role of the title character. The artwork is amazing and Cavan Scott has penned a tale that feels like a Series One episode. I could hear Chris’s voice coming…

Graphic Audio Adventures
Batman – Dead White This was a dark story, certainly not meant for children.

Invincible or Infamous Iron Man?
Invincible Iron Man – Vol 1: Reboot Tony Stark has new armor and it is truly remarkable. There is a stealth mode, it can change colour, and it is incredible easy to get in and out of. Unfortunately Pepper Potts is not at Stark Industries anymore and Tony doesn’t have anyone to rely on to…

Panels in Space
I borrowed both of these graphic novels from the public library. It’s nice to be able to explore space for free (from the safety of my living room). Captain Marvel: Volume 1 – Rise of Alpha Flight I’m not too familiar with the character of Captain Marvel. I know of her from Civil War II…

The Beatles – All Our Yesterdays (Graphic Novel)
The Beatles – All Our Yesterdays by Jason Quinn and Lalit Kumar Sharma I love The Beatles. What they did for music cannot be understated. They changed the game with their style, sound, and look. Their music still permeates today fifty years after their groundbreaking album, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. To help celebrate that…
