Star Trek: in the AMA

My friend Erica tells me that Star Trek is referenced in the American Medical Association’s Manual of Style:

That’s page 265, if you’re following along with your own copy.

Dara Naraghi gave to: A.L.I.E.E.E.N.: Archives of Lost Issues and Earthly Editions of Extraterrestrial Novelties by Lewis Trondheim read in November, 2011	My rating:
Odd, quirky, funny, and at times heart wrenching and disquieting. Trondheim illustrates this wordless story with equal parts charm and grotesqueness, and presents a pseudo-narrative quite different than what you're probably used to. Definitely the wo...more

Dara Naraghi gave to: The Nobody by Jeff Lemire read in July, 2011	My rating:
This is award winning indie cartoonist Jeff Lemire's first graphic novel for DC/Vertigo, a sort of modern take on the Invisible Man story. I haven't read Lemire's much-praised Essex County trilogy yet, or any of his mainstream superhero stuff at DC,...more

Dara Naraghi gave to: 5 is the Perfect Number by Igort read in May, 2011	My rating:
A straight-up mafia crime story set in Napoli in the 70s takes a few surreal turns in this graphic novel by Igort (aka Igor Tuveri). Peppino is a retired hitman for the mob who picks up his guns again to avenge the death of his son, also a mob hitman...more

Dara Naraghi gave to: Pixu: The Mark of Evil by Gabriel Bá read in May, 2011	My rating:
I picked up this graphic novel on a whim, based on the strength of the artists involved, more so than the genre (I'm not a horror fan). The story is set in an apartment building, populated by various tenants whose lives intersect with horrifying resu...more

Dara Naraghi gave to: Locke and Key, Vol. 3: Crown of Shadows by Joe Hill read in April, 2011	My rating:
Another fantastic entry in this series. The story is truly cranking, and Hill turns up the danger factor, as well as the heartwrench, in this volume. I've been impressed by how well, and how effortlessly, Hill ties together quiet character moments, a...more

Dara Naraghi gave to: Locke and Key, Vol. 2: Head Games by Joe Hill read in March, 2011	My rating:
Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez crank up the mystery and weirdness factor in volume 2. Just when you thought this book might follow the somewhat familiar Stephen King/New England horror tropes, Hill throws in some curve balls and mind bending new reve...more
