Archeologists Of Shadows, Volume 1: The Resistance

December 5, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Septagon Studios is home to a rather interesting graphic novel. Archeologists Of Shadows is a successful blend of drawing, photography and digital painting.

Which Green Lantern are you? [Infographic]

November 11, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I started to follow the Green Lantern arc “Rise of the Third Army” after the Simon Baz teasers. Eventhough Comixology points me in the direction of the next comic to download it can be quite a challenge collecting all the pieces, especially when they come out in spits and spurts.
