Review: A Small Favor
James has been alive for a long time – a really long time. He’s travelling the stars with his A.I. companion Liz, trying to discover the truth about what happened to him all those years ago, and what lies in his future…
“A Small Favor is a comic book series by Caleb Palmquist and John Grimes, with art by fifteen different artists (and counting)! The story is told over the course of 1,000 years, and every time period is drawn by a different artist. Contributors include Walter Ostlie (Shiver Bureau, Metal Shark Bro!), Nicolas Touris (Pixie Dust, Franklin and Ghost), Nick OG (Beyond the Wall of Sleep), and many more!”
Review: The Last Arrival, 1 and 2
Planet C’adaei is in danger.
Five selected to leave and look for a new home. Their destination? Earth, but it might not be the blue paradise they were hoping for… in fact it’s a ruin, whole cities covered in sand and no sign of life other than what humans have left behind.
Olak, Aome, Acrok, Rirke and U’on have to solve the mystery of what happened to humanity and overcome darkness itself in this psychedelic action and drama packed space opera.

Review: Modern Mythology
I was recently contacted to review Modern Mythology: The Hero’s Journey, a comic anthology retelling mythological stories, many reimagined in new, more modern ways. I was sent a digital copy for review, along with a press kit of images I can use for my review, and a link to their Kickstarter.
The creator and editor, Caleb Palmquist, really pulled together an amazing team of writers and artists to create something special with this book. Modern Mythology: The Hero’s Journey is a 160+ page softcover book with seventeen stories created by 29 talented individuals. In addition to all of this amazingness, there are also a collection of pin ups from other independent comic book artists.
