Off the Shelf — Battlestar Galactica Volume 2: The Adama Gambit
Nutshell: It’s great to see the classic gang together again! But I wish the way the characters think would also be brought to the 21st century. Athena is still “the little woman”, and that should be embarrassing to modern writers. … Continue reading

Nutshell: Is the wait for Season 5 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic killing you? This group of four stories should help ease the pain. There’s some so-so art in spots, but overall the Mane Six trot out some … Continue reading
Off the Shelf — Hack/Slash: Son of Samhain
Nutshell: It’s great to see Cassie Hack back in action, and her new crew of creators have done a good job throwing her into the ol’ mix. If you’re looking for Slashers, you’ll be disappointed, but if monsters are your … Continue reading
Off the Shelf — Godzilla: Cataclysm
Nutshell: Cataclysm is old-school Kaiju meets Young Turk apocalyptic fiction. And it totally works. This is the kind of comic book that screams for a big-ass tablet, so you can enjoy all the full-page awesome at once. Or, you can … Continue reading
