Sleeper: Season Two

Ed Brubaker’s Sleeper: Season Two I had a feeling I wouldn’t be disappointed. That being said, considering how strong season one had been, the doubt still lingered in the back of my mind. Could Phillips and Brubaker create something as strong as the original? The answer: Yes! Season one ends with Holden Carver’s own personal Empire Strikes Back.…

Freakangels Vol. 5

Freakangels Vol. 4

Warren Ellis’ Freakangels Vol. 4 So after that pretty awesome cliffhanger in Volume 3, the 4th book opens with.. a flashback!

Incognito

Brubaker and Phillips’ Incognito This has been an exceptional year for me in terms of the quality of material I’ve been reading. I think I’ve given out more 5 star reviews that anyone I know. Well, it’s either this or I’m easily impressed.  WOW! A BLUE CAR. Not only have I been recommended Ed Brubraker…
