Horror, Fantasy, and Sci Fi

Holy shit. Talk about a love story for the ages. First off I'll get this out of the way, the illustrations are gorgeous, Fiona Staples is truly a talented illustrator I highly recommend checking out her work. Second, the writing and plot are so good and using them in comic form does this world incredible justice. I read Saga, the first volume (issues 1-6) and they are GOOD. The comics mix the world of sci-fi and fantasy almost perfectly to the point where they seem like they're connected. the two opposing worlds Landfall and Wreath are so contrasting, they compliment each other.  Marko is probably my favorite of the two because he is such a dude-bro and who doesn't love a magic-wielding man with horns! Alana and Marko's love story is so out of place and weird I kinda love it? Imagine, falling in love with a person who hated your entire race and planet, AND meeting in prison AND falling for the guard that's in charge of you. (not really ideal in this reality but ...

Now, I wasn't huge into reading as a kid when the Harry Potter series came out. I would have much rather been drawing or watching cartoons. However, I have an older brother (about 4 years older than me) and he LOVED the books. Every book report or assigned summer reading he picked Harry Potter.

I grew up, saw all the movies multiple times and even became a fan of the musical, decided I would finally truly read Harry Potter. Right off the bat, I noticed Harry was kind of arrogant ...

COVID-19 (coronavirus) is one of the most lethal viruses to plague mankind in MASSIVE numbers since the Black Plague, with a devastating case number of 700,000 (as of March 29th), spanning over 6 continents, and killing 30% of those infected with it. Sound familiar? Well, it should. Since the birth of horror cinema, the undead (zombies) has been one of the most popular sub-genre, with a wide fan-based spanning from video games (Resident Evil), Television (The Walking Dead), and the big one, Movies (Zombieland, The Dead Don't Die, Train to Busan, 28 Days Later, etc.). Zombies have played an important role in 'Geek Culture' over the years, making a 'normal guy' into the main protagonist (Zombieland, Shaun of The Dead) geeks felt that (with enough preparation watching these movies) they could rule over the mass army of the undead instantly. With t-shirts, bumper stickers, online forums, roleplay, conventions, haunted house themes, and even shops, the zombie fan-base ...
