Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Season 8 - "The Long Way Home"

I've also been reviewing the new Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 8 comic series, which is being "executive produced" by Joss Whedon.

The first story arc, called "The Long Way Home" was contained in Issues 1-4, and I reviewed them for PinkRaygun.com.

You can read it here.

Y: The Last Man, Issues 1 & 2


Recently, I became a contributing writer for PinkRaygun.com, a blog for geeky women (and the men who love them). As I have read every single issue of the Brian K. Vaughan/Pia Guerra comic, Y: The Last Man, and Y is ending at Issue #60 in a few months, I began a summary/review column called "Y: Because It's Awesome." Here are the first two reviews:

Issue 1

Issue 2

Y: The Last Man - Good Times!

Note: I'm grading Y as a series, since I've read through the current issue. I will not be giving each issue its own grade. However, as you'll see in the reviews themselves, I like some issues better than others...

Explaining the Hiatus...

It's been a while. And I haven't written, not because I haven't been reading, but because I went to France and since then have been reading up a storm without having the discipline to write about it. :) I'm hoping to remedy that. The next several reviews will not have the "Currently reading/Next up" format. That will return when I'm caught up....whenever that is.

Coming soon (certainly not in the order that I read them, as I barely remember anymore), my reviews for:
