Tim Chant’s Sam Cane: Hard Setdown weighs in at just 99 pages. It’s a novella and the perfect sort of size for a rainy Sunday, a business flight or something to read in the hotel room after a Comic Con. As it’s short and snappy Sam Cane: Hard Setdown gets to the point. Sam is […]

Trying not to be a zombie: A review of The Geek Molecule
The Geek Molecule isn’t the name of a game. We’re talking about a lifestyle supplement from Fountain that contains zinc gluconate and gotu kola. You can read the label here and check out its Cosmopolitan Beauty Award. Yeah, I know. Health and Beauty supplements aren’t the usual sweet spot for Geek Native articles but the […]

Billions Dead: A review of Surface Tension
Surface Tension is a graphic novel from Jay Gunn and Titan Comics. Gunn is both the author and illustrator so, straight off the bat, I’m impressed. The comic book picks up on a remote British Island after sea sickness has killed most of the people on the planet. The sea sickness was horrible; it gave […]
Steps forward: A review of Bigfootloose and Finn Fancy Free
I enjoyed Finn Fancy Necromancy. The adventure followed a necromancer returned to our world after being imprisoned in the fae world for a crime he didn’t commit. It was largely humorous, sometimes a bit too zany for me and rather nicely flirted with a touch of darkness now and then. The hero, after all, is […]

Kill your favourite character: A review of Akame Ga Kill
The anime kicks off as we meet Tatsumi travelling on the road. He swiftly steps into the role of hero by taking on a fearsome and dangerous creature – an Earth dragon – and in doing so demonstrates he’s quite some swordsman. It’s interesting to note that that earth dragon isn’t called a monster. None […]
