Winterworld
Another book I had never heard of that was on my local comic shop’s shelf of new releases; the cover grabbed my attention and I gave Winterworld a quick thumbing. I quickly added it to my buy pile and headed…

iZombie: Dead To The World
I’m not a fan of horror books or themes but the story just grabbed me; never would have picked it up but I’m a fan of Allred’s art. iZombie: Dead To The World is about a young girl and her…

The Hound Of The Baskervilles
This is a book that has flown very low on the radar of North American readers; I became aware of it via the excellent Forbidden Planet UK blog, a great spot for European works in English. The Hound Of The…
