At the achingly hip SXSW (South by South West) conference that merges tech with anyone else who might be interested Marvel announced Project Gamma. In summary; it’s music that plays along with your comics. It’s a little more complex than it appears at first. Normally the way to assign music to comics would be to […]

The Wyld Hunt (Agency Case Files) review
I really enjoyed The Wyld Hunt. It’s a bit of a challenge to find a genre that satisfies; cyberpunk meets noir? That’s close but there’s almost Dune like sci-fi in the background and elements of horror, even Lovecraft inspired horror, just lurking in the background. Agent John Aries works in a far future London in […]
A review of Stitched Volume 1
Stitched is a horror graphic novel (and movie!) from the Northern Irish author and comic book creator Garth Ennis and the highly respected Mike Wolfer. Ennis is known for the likes of Preacher and Marvel’s Punisher. Wolfer has worked on Crossed, the Night of the Living Dead and Gravel. I think that rather sets the […]
Agatha H and the Clockwork Princess review
Agatha H and the Clockwork Princess is the second book in the Girl Genius series. It picks up the action from the Airship City as Agatha attempts to get home and there’s already a lot going on. Little wonder the novel is twice as long. The first thing the Clockwork Princess proves is that the […]
Wizards without Coats: Walmart
Could I find one of these, please? < PreviousWizards without Coats Next > Through no fault of their own, Lord Wal & Mart Kull, accidently activated the dreaded portal of merchandising Don’t you just hate it when you pop out for some loot and milk and come back with way more than you wanted?
SEAL Team 666 review
While reading Seal Team 666 I twice described the book as “US SEALs battle demons”. The first time I did so the reaction was; “sounds awful”. The second time the response was; “my kind of book!”. Now I’m using the phrase again in this review. It fits. SEAL Team 666 is the story of an […]
Geeky deal: The Bundle of Holding
Now and then Geek Native will cover a geeky bundle deal when it’s a good one. Step forward The Bundle of Holding. This deal, I assume, takes its name from the legendary Bag of Holding and in this case contains ebooks written by authors in, or close to, the roleplaying world. Who and what? There’s […]
Glass Thorns: Elsewhens review
Glass Thorns: Elsewhens is the sequel to Glass Thorns: Touchstone and is equally a frustrating book to review. Why? It’s a carefully slow book but it’s clearly building up a grand and complex plot. It’s all gut feeling but I sense Melanie Rawn, an experienced writer, doesn’t want to try and spin a trilogy into […]
Sherlock Holmes: The Breath of God review
What’s this? A book featuring Sherlock Holmes, arguably the world’s greatest detective (unless you count Danger Mouse1) and the supernatural? How could this work, and should it even be attempted? Luckily for me, instead of discounting the novel as some form of sacrilege, recently I had my views broadened from reading an interesting article from […]
A Mindjammer review
I like the science in science fiction. That’s why I like sci-fi, especially gritty sci-fi but rarely those stories set so far in the future that technology seems like magic. Mindjammer is a far future sci-fi. Mankind has explored all across the universe and populated many planets. The expansion fragmented and mankind was left to […]
