Gigant Volume 1 The cover to Gigant Volume 1 Sometimes creators occasionally seems to like to say about a new product they are releasing is that it is ‘above genres’ or ‘can’t be classified’. Usually, you’ll read about that is the now-defunct comics magazine Wizard, or Fangoria, which even once had a section of their... Continue Reading →
Fairy Tail Volume 1 An ex-co-worker of mine was a big fan of Fairy Tail to the point she named her cosplay name after one of the characters in this anime (Hi Tash!) but honestly, even thoigh she pestered me to read it, I never got around to it... until now! I have to say... Continue Reading →
Prison School Volume 1 Surely to truly experience manga to its fullest, one must read it all. Action, superheroes, romance, sports... ... and whatever the hell genre this one falls into!

The All-New X-Men 1: Ghosts of Cyclops It would be a boring review if it were to start with something as terrible as a ‘look up convoluted in the dictionary, and you’ll find the history of the X-men as an example.’ Yep, boring, and lazy reviewing as well, so we won’t do that. That’s not... Continue Reading →
As far as I am concerned, the state of mainstream comics, that is Marvel and DC, is in somewhat of a state of horrible flux at the moment. When I was a kid (yes, it’s going to be one of THOSE stories), comics were up to high numbers in their issue count, but those high... Continue Reading →
