All-Star Superman is a 12 issue series from the famous Grant Morrison and Frant Quitely. Having been a fan of Grant Morrison's Batman run I was excited to pick this up. This is probably the first standalone Superman comic I’ve read but in spite of that it seems unlikely that any other could surpass this …

Book Review: Dark Nights Metal
This is the first Batman graphic novel I’ve read in a long time. The team of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo return after their impresive Batman new 52 run. I heard quite a bit about this at the time of its release in 2017. The story revolves around a very interesting premise involving the multiverse …
Book Review: Kings of the Wyld
I remember seeing this book in passing but didn’t pick it up because, going by the cover, I assumed it was some dark fantasy/horror related story (yes, I judged a book by its cover). I was way off base in that it wasn’t really dark, nor was it from the horror genre. Its definitely fantasy …
Game Review: Pokémon Legends: Arceus
A refreshing take on the pokémon games that have been more or less the same since their inception. Having played most of the games since Pokémon Crystal version, I quite liked this new iteration of the game franchise. Pokémon Legends: Arceus explores a very early time in the pokémon world when pokémon were still considered …
Book Review: The Paris Detective (Detective Luc Moncrief #1-3) – James Patterson & Richard DiLallo
I should start this by saying that I picked this up because the title made me think of a Hercule Poirot or Armand Gamache type protagonist. What I got instead was a young mix between Poirot and Jacques Clouseau, leaning towards the latter. This book, though interesting at times, was a little disappointing. It feels …

Book Review: Before the Batman: An Original Movie Novel
Before the Batman is a prequel novel to Matt Reeves' The Batman movie. The book is fairly short, and seems like its targeted at a younger audience as compared to the movie which was much darker and grittier. We are given glimpses into the past of both Bruce Wayne and Edward Nashton* and how their …

Rediscovering Pokémon cards
Pokémon cards have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Back when I was in school in Bangalore, India, I remember asking my dad to get me a pack of pokémon cards for doing well in some exams. He obliged but then boggled at the price of 80 or …

March Book Haul
This weekend we decided to visit the local oxfam bookstore to see if they had any secondhand books that we could add to our collection at home. I came away with the few you see in the image. David Gibbins’ The Pharaoh, and The Tiger Warrior I hadn’t heard of before but since I’ve been …
