The Mysterious Affair at Styles: First in the Mini Mysteries Line

Now that fandom has become more acceptable and doesn’t make its practitioners social pariahs, and earlier fan generations now have children or grandchildren, you get some very interesting products for young ones. Previously disposable entertainment is often transformed so that adults can share their love with their kids (whether the kids are interested or not). Take, for example, the first in the Mini Mysteries children’s book line, Agatha Christie’s The Mysterious Affair at Styles, as written by Marci Kay Monson [...]

Somerset Holmes

I checked out Somerset Holmes because of my Sherlock Comics website. Turns out this comic has nothing to do with the great detective. But it was a history lesson on its own, showing that trying to break into movies via comics is nothing new.

Sue & Tai-Chan Volume 5

What better to relax with during a cold winter month than a charming, low-stakes comic about two cats and their everyday lives? I say low-stakes, but Sue & Tai-Chan volume 5 does start with a bit of drama. Older cat Sue and kitten Tai-Chan have been locked out of their home with their human gone. It’s a role reversal, as normally teacher Sue is the calm, reserved one, but she’s panicking, while Tai-Chan knows what to do. And thankfully, the [...]

Sherlock Holmes: Crimes for Christmas

I love an advent calendar. During a cold, dark month, where the pressure to do just the right thing for other people can become overwhelming, it’s nice to have a daily gift to oneself. Here's a new style one, a type I wasn't previously familiar with, with content that's a gift for any Sherlockian: Derrick Belanger's Sherlock Holmes: Crimes for Christmas.

DC Super Heroes: The Ultimate Pop-Up Book

Two years after Marvel Super Heroes: The Ultimate Pop-Up Book, DC gets its own edition with DC Super Heroes: The Ultimate Pop-Up Book. Both are by the same paper engineer, Matthew Reinhart. As with the Marvel book, there are six pop-up spreads here: one each for Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman; one that includes Green Lantern, Flash, and Aquaman; one for villains; and one for the Justice League/DC Universe. The cover art is by Dan Mora and interior art is [...]

You Are Fatally Invited

The high concept of Ande Pliego’s You Are Fatally Invited is And Then There Was None run by Stephen King if he was J.D. Salinger. Six famous thriller writers have been invited to the secluded private island estate of anonymous superstar author J.R. Alastor. They all know each other, or know of each other, as industry successes do — but they all have secrets that are bound to come out. The attendees include the writing couple — a former lawyer [...]

Happy Anniversary to Baker Street Elementary!

Baker Street Elementary, a webcomic featuring schoolboy Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, and often their troublemaking friend Stamford, last month celebrated its tenth anniversary. The strip is written by Joe Fay and Steve Mason and illustrated by Rusty Mason. Congratulations, folks! It’s in the minimalist style, with primarily head shots of the young characters, distinguished by their hats. The dialogue drives the humor, with plenty of Sherlockian references. And I was honored to write the introduction to last year’s collection, Year [...]
