Graphic Reviews: The Fuse
The Fuse Those who know me (and anyone who reads these articles) knows that I have a deep abiding love of Ed Brubaker’s writing. In large part, this is because Brubaker takes a genre which I tend to have relatively little interest in (crime/noir) and brings such depth and intensity […]
A Bard’s Eye View: Gojira and Tesseract
Gojira and Tesseract On Friday, 14 October 2016, I saw Gojira and Tesseract perform. I am not super familiar with Tesseract, but I do enjoy what I have heard and their performance was very good. Unfortunately, Gojira’s performance is hardwired into my head and that is going to be the […]

Where we kill Jerry in the backseat and get detoured again, this time because of Zombies* *not actually zombies.
Graphic Reviews: Banned Books
Banned Books Since last week was technically Banned Books week, I’m a bit belated in celebrating but I wanted to take some time in Graphic Reviews to talk about some fantastic graphic novels that have been banned for one reason or another. All stupid, as cases of censorship generally are. […]
A Bard’s Eye View: The Holographic Principle
The Holographic Principle A Look at the new Epica album There were three albums that were released on 30 September 2016, but Epica’s album was the one that stuck out the most to me. The Holographic Principle is not only my favorite Epica album since Design Your Universe, but […]
