I’m not a huge gamer. A lot of this isn’t by choice. Unfortunately, I don’t generally have the free time, and when I do I tend to spend it with my family (and working on this comic, of course). But every once in a while a game will grab me. I’ll see an add, or… Read more »

Zombie Book Review: Dead Frozen
One of the things I really like about the zombie genre is how versatile it is. Naturally, most zombie stories are going to start with horror at their base, although exceptions certainly exist. That said, writers build on the foundation of horror in all sorts of interesting ways. Over the years, I’d read zombie war… Read more »
Zombie Book Review: End Time
Reading through End Time, I began to wonder whether the author, Daniel Greene, happened to be a fan of George R.R. Martin. I suspected this because the book uses a lot of Martin’s storytelling techniques, and largely to good effect.When I finished the book, I wasn’t surprised to see Martin’s name among the writer’s influences… Read more »

The Hunt Chronicles: Volume 1 Book Review
The shelves are pretty crowded with zombie books these days, so most authors take pretty major steps to set their stories apart from the pack. That’s a pretty good strategy, and it’s always interesting to see how the genre can get stretched and expanded, but sometimes I just crave a more traditional zombie story, and… Read more »
Wool Book Review
It’s been a long time since I’ve been so completely sucked into a fictional world like I have been recently with Wool. I’m working through the two sequels now, and am happy to report the depth of the world continues to grow, as does my interest in it. I read, watch, and play a lot… Read more »
