BattlePug, Volume 1 – Graphic Novel Review

August 14, 2017 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Pssh, like I’m going to discover a book about a barbarian riding a giant pug and NOT read the heck out of it. When table buddy Sanford Greene told me about BattlePug at The Tangled Web’s Free Comic Book Day event, I knew I’d found a new favorite before I even opened the cover. Volume […]

Princeless, Volume 1 – Graphic Novel Review

December 21, 2015 by hpholo Leave a Comment

I came across Princeless by Jeremy Whitley and M. Goodwin at a local comic convention and didn’t have to think twice before picking it up. The cover alone promised all kick-butt girls, dragons, and adventure galore. It did not disappoint. In Volume 1, when Princess Adrienne comes of age, she’s locked in a dragon-guarded tower because that’s […]

The Sons of Liberty – Book Review

January 12, 2015 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Two escaped slaves get superpowers, team up with Ben Franklin, and wreak havoc on their corrupt former owner. This tells you all you need to know about The Sons of Liberty. This graphic novel, penned by Alexander and Joseph Lagos, is more National Treasure than history class, which is probably why it’s one of the […]

Pacific Rim: Tales from Year Zero – Book Review

March 2, 2014 by hpholo 3 Comments

One movie reviewer commented that the Pacific Rim movie watched like a sequel to a previous movie that the filmmakers forgot to make. This was possibly due to its quick prologue, which summed up the movie’s tagline (“To fight monsters we created monsters”) via disaster montage and then fast forwarded to the present of the […]

Lizzie Newton: Victorian Mysteries, Volume 1 – Book Review

February 16, 2014 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Lizzie Newton Victorian Mysteries Cover

Lizzie Newton is equal parts Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes, a budding mystery writer who does more than write mysteries—She solves them, too. No one wants to believe this of her, though, because this is the Victorian era, after all, and women don’t do that sort of thing. This is why Lizzie must hide her […]

Romeo and Juliet: The War by Stan Lee, etc. – Graphic Novel Review

April 28, 2013 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Comic adaptations of Shakespeare are hardly new, but in my experience, rarely are they well-done enough to be appreciated outside of a “Here, read this comic because you’re having trouble with the Shakespearean language in the play” context. Of the several that I’ve attempted, only a few have been books that I’ve reread for their […]
