Don’t annoy the supernatural: A review of The Wild Ways
The Wild Ways from Tanya Huff and a sequel to The Enchantment Emporium. In the first book we meet a magical family called the Gales who command enough respect that the supernatural tends to leave them alone; unless they’re really powerful. The Wild Ways follows one of my favourite characters from the book, Charlotte Gale, […]

Superhero Nerd: A review of Geek-Girl #1
Sam Johnson’s Geek-Girl has been on my radar for a little while, at least from last year when Geek Native previewed Voodoo Junkie Hitwoman: Cabra Cini (rated as: hopeful) but the author himself has been getting mentions on the site since 2014 in conjunction with Free Comic Book Day. What Geek-Girl does is flip the […]

Did you watch the movie? Here’s a chance to win the official movie novelisation by Alex Irvine. In Independence Day, the first movie, the world is caught unaware of the alien threat. Since then mankind has managed to merge alien technology with theirs to build huge cannons on the moon and on Mars. An entire […]
Go wild: A review of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld Colouring Book
Colouring Books designed for adults rather than kids are high fashion right now. I see why; they’re fun. You get to escape into a book, do something with your hands that isn’t typing and get to create. For many of us that’s a rare combination of activities and a welcome one. My prediction is whole […]
Superhero Week: Iron Man is now a 15-year old black girl
Tony Stark is not in a good way. The events in Civil War 2 will mean that the original Iron Man will make some big life changes and finally step away from the mantle. Who’ll step up? It looks like Riri Williams, the 15-year old genius, will. With some plot spoilers, I09 have an interview […]
Write or die: A review of An Android Awakes
I thought An Android Awakes was going to be a comic book or graphic novel from Mike French. It certainly isn’t a comic book but I suppose you could call it a graphic novel. There are illustrations throughout the collection of short stories. You might be reminded of One Thousand and One Nights. In the […]
