Advent Review #25: Judge Dredd: Year One (Book Review)

I’ve been a fan of Judge Dredd for a good while now, which for me translates into about a three-year period. It all started with the horrible 1980s movie with Sylvester Stallone, but then extended into the audio dramas range from Big Finish Audios, and then into the comics from IDW Publishing, and then the […]

Dredd Omnibus (Book Review)

I read Dredd Omnibus back in 2012, just a few short months after Dredd, starring Karl Urban in the titular role, debuted on movie screens around the world, and unfortunately flopped. It was a great movie, truly, but I can see why it lacked a certain mass appeal, not to mention the other decisions taken […]

12 Days of Best Covers of 2014: Day #12

The twelfth and final book cover I pick for the 2014 edition of “12 Days of Best Covers of…” is for Erin M. Evans’ fourth and most recent Brimstone Angels novel, Fire In The Blood, the cover for which is done by Min Yum. I just posted my review of the novel, so you can head […]

Advent Review #24: Fire In The Blood by Erin M. Evans (Book Review)

Erin M. Evans’ Brimstone Angels series has proven to be quite a good one as it has progressed. These novels feature the tiefling twins Havilar and Farideh as the main characters, with a great cast of supporting chracters, each of whom is different from the other. And as great as the characters are, the plots […]

Brimstone Angels: The Adversary by Erin M. Evans (Book Review)

The Adversary is the third novel in both the Brimstone Angels series and in the crossover The Sundering series which was the big event for Forgotten Realms last year. Massive upheavals on a multiversal scale aside, the novel also featured some major changes to the status quo when Lorcan’s sister Sairche tricked Havilar and Farideh into a bargain that […]

Brimstone Angels: Lesser Evils by Erin M. Evans (Book Review)

Erin’s second entry in the Brimstone Angels series was unfortunately not as good as the first, but it was still a rousing story in which she moved the story forward significantly as new challenges, new allies, new enemies and new complications presented themselves to the tiefling twins Havilar and Farideh. Here Erin explored their personal conflicts […]

Brimstone Angels by Erin M. Evans (Book Review)

Brimstone Angels is Erin M. Evans’ first novel in the series of the same name. I read the novel towards the tail-end of 2012, and it also happened to be the first book from the author that I’d read. And I was immediately a fan. The journey of the tiefling twins Havilar and Farideh was […]

Comics Picks For 17.12.2014

I was hoping for a second Magic 40 week in a row, but turns out that it was just wishful thinking. Still, I managed to get up to 30 comics this week, though no graphic novels sadly. There was only one surprise hit this week, Eternal #1 from Boom Studios, as pretty much all the […]

12 Days of Best Covers of 2014: Day #11

The eleventh book cover I pick for the 2014 edition of “12 Days of Best Covers of…” is for James Lovegrove’s Age of Shiva, the latest novel in his Pantheon series. The new novel is a major departure from the previous novels since it covers Hindu Mythology this time, and presents the most compelling “origin” yet […]

Advent Review #23: Fast-Shot Comics Reviews 17.12.2014

Doing as many reviews as I do, especially for the holiday-themed Advent Reviews, things tend to slip through the cracks quite a bit, compounded by the fact that I tend to read somewhere in the region of three dozen comics each week. Or try to at least. Fast-Shot Comics Reviews is a way to cover […]
