Garth Ennis’s Preacher This was probably the easiest five stars I’ve handed out to a comic collection. From the insane violence combined with the wildly original story, the first volume of Preacher did exactly what it was supposed to do: hook me and leave me begging for more.Following it’s unexpected escape, the dangerous offspring of an Angel and a…
John Connolly’s The Wrath of Angels I shouldn’t even have this book! Connolly’s North American publisher is waiting until January 01st, 2013 to release it in my neck of the woods and seeing as how the world is supposed to end on December 22nd, there’s a good chance I wouldn’t have been able to ever…
Don Winslow’s The Kings of Cool Honestly, after reading this, I can’t believe this book was anywhere near as good as it was. In fact, it was down right awesome. Savages is a tremendous novel. It was my first exposure to Winslow and I immediately fell for his razor sharp prose. It’s just so.. cool.…

Charlie is now a house sitter who agrees to sit on your couch, down beers and watch old movies why you’re off having a life somewhere else.…
Knightfall: Knight’s End I was really letdown by how this series finished up. Don’t get me wrong, where they went with this story made a lot of sense as it was the most logical conclusion. Of course Batman was going to return to prominence and confront Azrael, it was what they had been setting up…
Knightfall Vol. 2 I spent the majority of my review for Knightfall: Volume 1 gushing over how much I enjoyed the story and how pumped up it made me for The Dark Knight Rises. Having just finished Volume 2 and seen The Dark Knight Rises twice, I can easily say that I enjoyed this collection…
Knightfall Vol. 1, Broken Bat I seriously had no idea that Bane could be this awesome. When he was announced as the villain in the new Batman film, I was really hesitant to get my hopes up. I mean, Bane?! That loser from Batman & Robin (note to self: never base anything on that garbage movie)?? All…
