BZRK by Michael Grant – Book Review

Black Dragons
PROLOGUE to The Dragons of Jupiter Of the seven thousand coalition soldiers attacking Bunker Zero, only two penetrated the upper defenses. Kaneda and Ryu Kusanagi sprinted down the narrow steel corridor. Sonic cancellers in their boots turned booming metallic footfalls into whispers.

Warhammer 40K: Dark Eldar Army
Presenting my Warhammer 40K Dark Eldar army. While not being quite as filled with conversions as my other armies, I did enjoy painting this army quite a bit.

Warhammer 40K: Chaos Daemons Army
Presenting my Warhammer 40K “count as” Chaos Daemons Tzeentch army, with 95% conversions. My Chaos Daemons army is easily the craziest modeling project I’ve ever embarked upon.

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