Review of Under the Dragon’s Tail
Under the Dragon’s Tail, by Maureen Jennings, is a Murdoch Mysteries novel and historical whodunit of around 300 pages. The first Murdoch Mysteries novel I reviewed was “Except the Dying”, and you can find it, if you wanted, a couple pages back on Geek Native. Suffice to say I enjoyed it, and was looking forward […]
A Tank Girl: Carioca review
When I flipped open Tank Girl: Carioca I did not immediately get the Tank Girl vibe. The art is by Mike McMahon – of plenty of 2000AD and some Doctor Who Classics Omnibus editions. Perhaps I got a mixed signal from the 2000AD style, perhaps it just took me a while to get into the […]

End of the Line is an agency that produces quality, large scale murals, to support everything from movies to independent art events. They’ve just put the finishing touches on an Ultimate Avengers wall that had been hidden by a corporate hospitality tent that sprang up in London for the Olympics. The design is based on […]

Gambit is Han Solo (suggested name: Han LeBeua), Rogue is Princess Leia (suggested name: Princess Leianna), Nightcrawler as Luke Skywalker (suggested name: Kurt Skywalker), Beast as Chewbacca (suggested name: Coybacca), […]
Star Wars: The Essential Reader’s Companion review
This week Disney has secured the rights to Star Wars (and the rest of the Lucasfilm empire) and announced plans for Star Wars 7, 8 and 9. Already fans are asking which novel will Star Wars 7 be while tipsters whisper it’ll be an all new story. You might suddenly wish for a handy crash […]
Star Wars 7 will be all new story
E! Online are claiming LucasFilm sources are describing Star Wars 7 as all new. The quote is simply; It’s an original story This will disappoint Timothy Zahn who might have hoped to follow the adventures of Luke and the assassin Mara Jade. It’s always wise to be somewhat sceptical of unnamed sources but no one […]
Murdoch Mysteries: Except the Dying review
Times are hard, work is hard to come by, its cold outside and there are concerns over immigration. Actually I am not describing Scotland in the present, but rather Toronto 1895, and the setting for a Murdoch Mysteries novel, Except the Dying, by Maureen Jennings, a historical whodunit of around 300 pages. The front cover […]
