This series about the beginning of Darth Vader's infamy is inextricably linked in my mind to its predecessor.  For worse, and for better.

Follows on from this.  Myron's back to help figure out if this latest Spider-event is any good or if you should just watch "Into the Spider-Verse" again.

In which I find lots of ways to say, "It's good, but not as good as 'The Ancient Magus' Bride'" about Kore Yamazaki's latest series.

Will I say something problematic or insightful about this pair of graphic novels featuring an African-American reporter going undercover as a white man in the 1920's?

A fancy way of saying that, along with the live-action movie, I'll be talking about the "Holy Night and Other Stories" and "Ashen Victor" collections.

I look at several recent releases, and one old one, to determine what makes a comic scary.

Featuring criminals, lovers, madmen, graphic violence, clever plans, and laugh-out-loud moments throughout the list, and all together in the year's best read.

John and I talk about the winter's BEST superhero movie while I go on about the comics that inspired it.

The stories that inspired the movie aren't bad, even if their defensiveness does them no favors.

(And if anyone's wondering what I thought about the movie, I'll just say that it was fine.)

Does Kodansha's second manga-based anthology from international creators fare any better than its first?
