Doctor Who: Doom’s Day

I had no expectations about Doctor Who: Doom’s Day coming in. I didn’t pay much attention to Time Lord Victorious, the previous cross-platform multimedia event back in 2020, because I find chasing content across different venues tiring. Doom’s Day is 24 hours in the life of Doom, a time-traveling assassin played by Sooz Kempner. She’s chasing down the Doctor in an attempt to prevent her own death at the end of the day. There are multiple parts ranging across books, [...]

The Dreaming Returns From IPI Comics

Queenie Chan’s The Dreaming was an early success in the category of global manga, or OEL manga (Original English Language manga). The three-volume series began serialization in 2005, with a single-volume collection released in 2010. It’s a spooky read that makes good use of the comic format, so I’m glad to see a Revised Edition coming back into print from IPI Comics. The revisions include “new covers, brand new pages, and updated art and minor rewrites that better reflect the [...]

A Death at the Dionysus Club

A Death at the Dionysus Club, by Melissa Scott & Amy Griswold, is the sequel to Death by Silver, and I liked it more than the first, which is always a good thing. Ned Mathey and Julian Lynes are still figuring out how to negotiate their relationship amidst the expectations of their age. The setting is Victorian-ish, but with magic a reality, and Ned’s a sportsman while Julian is more artistic and Bohemian. They don’t have the same friends, although [...]

Hound of the Baskervilles Graphic Novel Reborn as Pop-Up Book

When I found out someone had done a Hound of the Baskervilles pop-up book, I had to get one. (A common reaction, as everyone I’ve shown it to has gone out and ordered one for themselves — since I’ve been showing it to other Sherlock Holmes fans.) I thought it would be fun, but I didn’t expect such impressive spreads. (The pop-ups were done by David Hancock.) There are only seven, but they’re well-chosen, from the hound on the moors [...]

The Great British Bump-Off

The Great British Bump-Off is an ideal high concept, and one right up my alley: a murder mystery set during a baking show. And it’s by John Allison, whose Giant Days I loved, and illustrated by his collaborator on that series, Max Sarin. I was trying to read it issue by issue, earlier this year, but there’s so much going on that I couldn’t keep track of the characters, so this collected edition is a much better approach for me. [...]

Fangirl Volume 3

I hadn’t expected to have much to say about the third volume of Fangirl. It’s part 3 of 4, after all, so it’s supposed to just be getting the characters in place for the upcoming conclusion, right? Certainly, everything’s going wrong for Cath, fanfic writer and new college student. She isn’t sure whether Levi is a friend or a potential boyfriend, particularly now that she’s seen him kissing someone else. She’s gone from writing with her sister to a classmate, [...]

Reading Holmes! Available Now – I’m in It!

Reading Holmes! is a collection of essays about different ways and methods of reading about Sherlock Holmes. I talked a bit about it when the crowdfunding campaign was running; my essay is on “what makes a good Sherlock Holmes comic” and how general expectations about the format contrast with what we think about the character. The book is now available for purchase! And I’ll be in New York City to sign it at the BSI Weekend Dealer’s Room on January [...]
