Night of Knives by Ian Cameron Esslemont – review
Night of Knives is a really intriguing book to me because I have gone back and forth on it, and some of the baggage that comes with it is rather unique. It was not a book I’d have described as “top shelf” in the year it was released, but it is one I find myself rereading. Among [...]
A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller Jr. – review
Over the course of the next month or so I’ll be relocating some reviews I did some years ago at my old blog (The Bodhisattva) over to BSC. Some content that no longer makes sense (if it ever did!) and is no longer applicable, like links that don’t exist anymore, will be removed. Also, I now have the benefit of handing this to a second pair of eyes for editorial corrections–which I didn’t have or really care about before! This one will be a review of the classic SF novel A Canticle for Leibowitz, by Walter M. Miller Jr.

Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds – review
Over the course of the next month or so, I’ll be relocating some reviews I did some years ago over at my old blog (The Bodhisattva) over to BSC. Some content that no longer makes sense (if it ever did!) and is not applicable anymore, like links that don’t exist anymore, will be removed. Also, I now have the benefit of handing this to a second pair of eyes for editorial corrections–which I didn’t have or really care about before! The first one will be a review of Alastair Reynolds’ Revelation Space (from 2005), what I felt was a nice little intro to a space opera, that at the time was much more of a “serious” SF read for me–at least in terms of what was Identified as Space Opera.

Deadpool #16 review
No other character can have an issue like this and be successful. Certainly no very-in current continuity character at the Big II. Deadpool is like the circus visiting you, and when the circus visits the X-Men -via ringmasters Daniel Way and Paco Medina- you get one of the two regular titles at Marvel that every month prove that fun comics (along with Agents of Atlas) can thrive, to the extent that this “comics should all go to OGNs” flag waver can see the value in needing each and ever 30-day fix. Hell, put me down for The Daily Deadpool.

G.I. Joe – Classic Reread: Special Missions ‘Best Defense’
As some may know, I’ve started my reread of the the G.I. Joe run first published by Marvel, via the collected TPBs recently published by IDW. Recently, I started reading the Special Missions (also published by Marvel, 28 issues – ’86-’89) and I figured I’d sprinkle in an issue of Special Missions coverage after every third issue I go over of the main series. Before getting its own series, the first Special Mission can be found as an extra in issue 50 of the main G.I. Joe

Classic G.I. Joe Reread – Issue #3 ‘The Trojan Gambit’
This is a continuation of my issue-by-issue review of the classic G.I. Joe comic series originally published by Marvel Comics, and now reprinted by IDW via trade paperback. Please check out the index to view previous reviews, particularly the first installment (if you have not already) as it offers a bit more in regards to initial perspective. On to issue 3, “The Trojan Gambit…”
The Last Resort #1 review – Palmiotti and Gray!
I talked about this in Tomio’s Want List awhile ago. I read it soon after, but I’m just now getting the time to talk about it now and decided to reread it, remembering I rather enjoyed it the first time around. I would point to this issue as being a prime example of how to put together a first issue of a new series. The stage is infected, set and blown up.
