Comics – Batman Hush, The Long Halloween, The Killing Joke

I am a fan of comics, I like the idea of comics, I like super heroes. I don’t actually read all that many comics.  The ongoing monthly cost is more than I care to bother with and I hate the whole multispan multi book story arch aspects (multibook Crossovers, not bultibook within a series).  It also feels like there is too much long tail and too much filler to really "get into" anything these days.  I really love collections and Graphic Novels.  They tend to highlight the best aspects and they tend to be self constrained consolidated stories.  The only…

Valve Presents: The Sacrifice and Other Steam Powered Stories

I  remember hearing about this book a while back.  I forget if it was on the Team Fortress blog or just somewhere in the Steam Forums.  I then promptly forgot about it.  As convenient as shopping online is, I like the serendipity of a store.  Unfortunately, there aren’t many book stores in the area and I tend to forget about books I wanted if I am not reminded of them.

Review – Change Agent by Daniel Suarez

NOTE: This book was provided by the publisher for free to the reviewer in advance of release. I should probably start off by mentioning that I am a huge fan of Daniel Suarez.  I have read all of his previous books, a few of them more than once.  He definitely has a great "not too distant" future sort of style that comes off as very plausible in his Sci-Fi Techno-Thriller novels.  While I wouldn't rate Change Agent as his be best work yet, I still give that to Daemon, it's certainly not on the bottom of my list.  They all…
