Akira 3
ā
Iām still in the process of going through Akira again, reading a volume every once in a while. This morning I read through all of volume 3, which is where it starts to diverge the most from the movie. When I read this, it makes me a bit sad that we never got more manga…

Ajin
ā
A friend recommended the manga series AjinĀ to me earlier today, and I then proceeded to start reading it feverishly, currently up to volume 3. I so love it when a manga series draws you in like this, and you just canāt stop reading chapter after chapter. It tells the rather violent story of a boy…

The Walking Dead
ā
Iāve read the comic series from the very beginning, and only decided to stop reading following the release of last monthās #150 – Iād been growing bored of the series, but I might revisit it later on through trades. As for the TV show, Iāve liked it on and off, but had stopped watching it…

Costume Quest: Invasion of the Candy Snatchers
ā
I love the Costume Quest games from Double Fine dearly, and Iām a big fan of Zac Gormanās work. Combine the two for a graphic novel? Yeah, this is a really great book that tells an original story based on the world and characters from the games. If you like the games, youāll absolutely love…

Alex + Ada

Iāve enjoyed everything Iāve read by the Luna Brothers, and although Alex + Ada is by just one of them (Jonathan Luna, along with Sarah Vaughan), it does feel like a proper Luna joint. Itās a near-future tale of a man who receives a lifelike android companion, and then proceeds to give it (her) sentience.…

Akira (Manga)
ā
After re-watching the Akira movie recently, I decided it was about time I revisit the original manga, which I donāt think Iāve re-read in a couple of decades – and that would have been the version that was published by Epic, colorized. Iām reading the B&W version this time, and I just blasted through the…

Tokyo Ghost
ā
When the first issue of this Rick Remender-written series came out, as I tried reading it, I really wasn’t feeling it for some reason – surprising, considering how much I like so much of Remender’s stuff (Deadly Class, Low, Black Science), that I like Sean Murphy art, and that it has a sci-fi cyberpunk-ish setting.…

Best American
ā
Over the years Iāve enjoyed quite a few of theĀ āBest Americanā short story anthologies – especially the Comics one and the Nonrequired Reading one – and so the other day I was quite happy to catch a one-day sale on Amazon, with each Kindle edition of the 2015 series available for $2. I bought all…
