The Borg and The Cybermen Join Forces
The most evil enemy in the Doctor Who universe finds a way to crossover into the Star Trek universe. That’s right, the Borg and the Cyberman have joined forces and that is bad news for the crew of the Enterprise and the entire universe. Star Trek: The Next Generation / Doctor Who – Assimilation 2:…

This Book is Bigger on the Inside
The adventures of Amy Pond, Rory Williams, and the Eleventh Doctor continue on in a series of original novels. This book is bigger on the inside, and that’s not just a clever Doctor Who joke. It’s actually a collection of two novels bound creatively in one volume. Each story is 200 pages long and opens…

Daredevil Still Going Strong with Volume 3
Daredevil: Volume 1 by Mark Waid, Paolo Manuel Rivera, and Marcos Martin This is the start of the third volume of the on-going Daredevil monthly comic. It started its production in April 2011 and I bought the first edition of comic but have held off with buying more. I was waiting for the collected hardcover edition.…

My Name is Memory
My Name is Memory by Ann Brashares I really enjoyed this book. It was interesting to see all of the ways that the two characters connected throughout the years. The timing or circumstances were never quite right for them to finally come together to live happily ever after. But that notion of fairy-tale love is…

Connected by Books
Connected: The Surprising Power of Our Social Networks and How They Shape Our Lives by Nicholas A. Christakis and James H. Fowler I’m sure that we’ve all heard of Six Degrees of Separation – the theory that everyone is connected in six or fewer steps. That means you could be connected to me even if…

Jack of Fables: Volume 5 – Turning Pages by Bill Willingham, Matthew Sturges, Russ Braun, Tony Akins, Jose…

Transformers Done Right
Transformers Volume 2: International Incident The art in this trade paperback is absolutely gorgeous. I also love how they keep the original transformer characters looking like I remember them. There is even a nice joke about it thrown in. It really makes no sense for the constructicons to be green and purple in colour but…

Fables and Sandman: Old Characters – New Spin
Fables: Volume 17 – Inherit the Wind by Bill Willingham, Mark Buckingham, Steve Leialoha, and Shwan McManus I discovered the world of Fables three years ago and I have read all of the trade paperbacks up to volume 17 now. The story really is incredible. It features all of the fairy tale characters we know…

The Gate Thief
The Gate Thief by Orson Scott Card This was sitting on the new arrival shelf at the public library. I picked it up because I have always enjoyed Orson Scott Card’s work. I love his work in the genre of science fiction and the medium of comics and I did read one of his urban…

Gareth Malone and The Power of Choir
The first time I saw Gareth Malone on television I was completely blown away. He has inspired so many people to come together and sing. And for several years he has done it in front of television cameras. When I saw that he had also published a book on the experience, I knew I had…
