American Born Chinese

I’ve been living in a bit of a bubble these past few years with respect to my comic book reading habits. I tend to read books that I hear about on websites and what I see on the shelf in front of me at the store. The problem is that this is limiting somewhat and […]

Star Wars Infinities: Return of the Jedi

By James Huff ⋅ September 30, 2006 ⋅ 3 comments

After so long in hibernation, and with damage to the carbonite unit, there’s little hope that Captain Solo will ever regain his sight.
Star Wars Infinities: Return of the Jedi is an adventurous and thought-provoking “What if?” tale by writer Adam Gallardo and artists Ryan Benjamin, Dan Norton, and Juvaun Kirby. It begins in tandem […]

Commander Skywalker, do you copy? This is Rogue Two.
Rogue Two, this is Commander Solo. Come in, Rogue Two.
Commander Solo, I read you load and clear. Are you okay, Commander?
Affirmative, Rogue Two. But Luke . . . Luke is dead.

Dawn | Lucifer’s Halo

By Khaled Abou Alfa ⋅ September 17, 2006 ⋅ 3 comments

Rereading this series brings back a great deal of memories. Dawn was one of my oldest looks into the independent publishing world of comics in the mid 1990s. The landscape at the time was rife with pure and unreadable garbage. From that desolate land there were a couple of shining beacons for the faithful that […]

Future? I’ve seen what that battle station can do, General. The Rebellion has no future.

Fables Volume 1 | Legends in Exile

By Khaled Abou Alfa ⋅ April 15, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

Currently one of the best (and most popular) titles being published by Vertigo Comics, Fables is something unique in the graphic novel landscape, it gets better with every additional volume. Traditionally (at least for the past few years) Vertigo Comics tends to publish new titles in bulk. What I mean by that is that they’ll […]

Strange

It’s been a good long while since I reviewed a Marvel book. To be honest I’ve not been all that enthused by most of their offerings of late. There are a couple of books I’ve got on my radar to buy, however the graphic novel landscape is open to a lot more. However every once […]

Spirit of Wonder

By Khaled Abou Alfa ⋅ January 1, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

Few things can make me smile from ear to ear and make me feel good about life in general. I get this feeling whenever I watch a Miyazaki movie. However before I discovered Miyazaki, I was reading ‘Spirit of Wonder’.
This is arguably one of the most beautiful manga’s ever created. This work is far and […]
