Comic Review: Batman: Li’l Gotham Issues 1 & 2

Batman: L’il Gotham is a digital-only series by Dustin Nguyen and Derek Fridolfs uses the Batman universe to tell holiday short stories (and possibly later other stories that aren’t holiday related.) I’m a huge fan of Batman but I haven’t read any of the comics in years and I wouldn’t even know where to pick …

Comic Review: Watson and Holmes

I grew up watching Matlock and Murder She Wrote, so I guess it’s only natural that as a kid, I soon fell madly in love with Sherlock Holmes. I love the books, any tv adaptations I can find. I watch Sherlock and Elementary–and I apologize profusely over my doubts that the show could make a …

My Small But Sweet Jet City Comic Show Gallery

IMG_1240

This was my first year attending the Jet City Comic Show here in Seattle, and I’m glad I went, even though I ended up spending too much money on comics. That shouldn’t be surprising since the small, one-day con is basically a giant dealer’s room. (On the plus side, I have new comics to read!) …

Review: Grave Sight – The Comic

Two covers! I like the first but ended up with the second.

The Harper Connelly Series is my favorite thing by Charlaine Harris (of True Blood/Sookie Stackhouse fame). Partially because I love super powers that suck. Harper was hit with lightning years ago and now she can sense dead bodies. When she’s near a body she can see how they died, but not who killed them if …
