Shadowhawk reviews another upcoming debut from Angry Robot Books.

“Vividly entertaining, this is a book that looks past the lively and thrilling glamour of life as an international spy and also merges several genres together into a cohesive whole to tell a story that rocks from start to finish.” ~The Founding Fields

Superman: Birthright by Mark Waid – Graphic Novel Review [Shadowhawk]

Superman Birthright

Shadowhawk reviews Mark Waid’s 2003 ground-breaking origin story of the Man of Steel.

“A fascinating story about relationships, consequences, and identity that also helps to establish Superman as more than an American hero.” ~The Founding Fields

Shotguns & Sorcery Double – Bad Times and End Times In Dragon City [Shadowhawk]

Shotguns & Sorcery 02 - Bad Times In Dragon City

Shadowhawk reviews the second and third books of the Shotguns & Sorcery trilogy from Matt Forbeck’s 12-for-12 project.

Comics Round-up 15.04.2013

G.I.Joe Vol.1 IDW

Shadowhawk and Bane of Kings welcome you to the second comics round-up for April.

“Taking a step back in time from JMS’ Odyssey Vol.1 to read the first post-Infinite Crisis Wonder Woman title proved to be a wise choice, as did going back to IDW’s first reboot of the G.I.Joe franchise. The new version of Spider-man arch-villain Venom proved to be a major disappointment and Zenescope’s first collected volume of their fairy tale reimaginings ended up being more promising than I’d expected.” ~Shadowhawk

A mixed bag from DC with Jeff Lemire’s Green Arrow being spectacular but the first volume of All Star Western falling well short. On the other hand, Marvel hits it out of the park with a superb opening start to the adventures of Miles Morales, the new Ultimate Comics Spider-man.” ~Bane of Kings

The Daedalus Incident by Michael J. Martinez -Advance Review [Shadowhawk]

DaedalusIncidentThe_CoverPanel

Shadowhawk reviews an upcoming debut novel from Night Shade Books.

“In a time of SFF that is often serious and cerebral, The Daedalus Incident takes a step back to focus on the most important reason any reader picks up a book – to read a story that is plain good fun and adventure and that does not get bogged down into complexities of the world. A highly recommended debut.” ~The Founding Fields

Cover Art: Three by Jay Posey (Angry Robot)

Shadowhawk takes a look at the cover for an upcoming debut novel from Angry Robot Books.

“This could very well be the official poster or a movie I’d love to go watch soon as I see the poster.” ~Shadowhawk

Locke & Key Vol.1 by Joe Hill – Graphic Novel Review [Shadowhawk]

21 Locke & Key Lovecraft

Shadowhawk reviews the first volume of the runaway urban horror hit series from IDW Publishing.

“I never realised that I could love a horror comic so much, or that I would be so damn creeped out by it. This is fantastic stuff.” ~The Founding Fields

Quandaries of Reviewing with Mihir Wanchoo

The latest blogger guesting today for the eighth installment of this series on the demands of reviewing is Mihir Wanchoo from Fantasy Book Critic.

“Mihir is another terrific blogger I met last year and I follow his posts with quite a bit of interest that’s also due in part to our shared camaraderie and nature as Indians. In fact, he is the only Indian blogger I know of currently. One of the other reasons I follow Mihir’s reviews is because our likes and dislikes happen to match quite a bit and its interesting to see the similarities and differences in our opinions.” ~Shadowhawk

Bane of Kings and Shadowhawk both review the latest upcoming debut novel from Orbit Books.

“One of the most inventive and unique takes on fantasy with some really good characters and unique magic system.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields

Archer and Armstrong Vol.1 by Fred van Lente – Graphic Novel Review [Shadowhawk]

02 Archer Armstrong Vol. 1

Shadowhawk reviews the first volume of the rebooted Archer and Armstrong series from Valiant Comics.

“A surprise hit full of uniqueness and modern-day relevance to religious politics, this is an absolute must read because of its mythic storyline reminiscent of an Indiana Jones movie and a duo of awesome, misfit characters.” ~The Founding Fields
