review 1: Midwinter by Matthew Sturges was a good read. This is the first book in the Fae series. The plot didn't strike me as groundbreaking, though it is well written. Mauritane is a prisoner and former captain of the Seelie Army. He's recruited by Queen Titania on a secret mission to sa...

review 1: The venerable anthology series got a gruesome grown-up reboot in 2008. This collection uses a wraparound tale that tells the story of the house itself, a place where visitors from many worlds and era can meet to have a drink, share stories, and perhaps be doomed. To pay their t...

review 1: Sturges has taken an interesting approach to the traditional horror anthology comic. In the classic House of Mystery comics, the house was merely a convenient framing device for the various stories. As with all anthologies, the quality was spotty--some stories good and memorabl...

review 1: My favorite graphic novel is the macabre, creepy graphic novel. I was turned onto this series loosely based on the old House of Mystery comic books of the past. This is the second in the series! There is one story encompassing the whole series, that of the people populating a ...

review 1: The storyline of Salvation Run was teased in Gotham Underground: the government has been secretly rounding up unrepentant supercrooks and exiling them to a distant planet. So far, so good. I'm sure the good people of Gotham feel so much better every time that Joker is hauled off ...

review 1: Picking up where Midwinter left off, Sturges writes another fantastic fantasy novel. Combing new characters with old, he uses flashbacks to hint at their complexity. This was a page turner, but not for the conventional reason. I wasn't eager to find out how the heroes were going ...
