Bouonne Libéthâtion à tous! 🇯🇪

Recent Reads: Metal Hurlant - Paradise Lost. Another anthology of new and old translated graphic SF and fantasy from the classic French magazine. Great art, great stories, often taking the form of near-wordless pieces that I can only describe as tone poems. A showcase of the best of the Ninth Art.

Recent Reads: A Star Called The Sun. I recently found Simon Roy's graphic SF, and this collection of shorts from his broken future serve as an introduction to his art and his fiction. In the ruins of an interstellar empire humans and machines hide from posthuman gods. These are their small stories.

Recent Reads: Lightfall - The Dark Times. Tim Probert's saga continues. Kest is dead, and with the spirit gone, so are the lights. Bea and Cad hunt the lost sun across a dying world, only to find that the story of the lights is not what they've been told. Is the truth the light that will save Irpa?

Recent Reads: Boy, With Accidental Dinosaur. Ian McDonald's wonderful novella takes us across a fractured USA, where time travel gives us dinosaur rodeos. It's a poetic tale as Tif aims to become a buckaroo, riding a dino in the ring. A broken world with broken people, trying to fix themselves.

Recent Reads: Lightfall - Shadow Of The Bird. Tim Probert's epic graphic fantasy continues, as Bea and Cad look for help from the water spirit Lorgon. It's a race against time, as bird spirit Kest is loose and the Lights are going out across Irpa. But what is truth and what is the right thing to do?

Recent Reads: Rando Splicer. Yes, the title of this volume in Joel Shepherd's Spiral Wars is silly, but the book is definitely not. The Phoenix's crew has to navigate more politics and hidden histories, as they deal with races that are more alien as they are so similar to humanity. The wars go on.
