I don’t know that I’ve read a book filled with as much dread and heart as this one. Thrills, chills, laughs, and tender moments punctuated by terrifying violence and scary bits that will have you rethinking the wild hoof-stock you see in the distance from your car. Highly recommended.

I hear they're calling it the Spoiled Mayonnaise Ticket. The only thing I'd endorse about this, is that it would get Eric Scmitt out of Missouri and make him everybody's problem but even I'm not THAT evil of a Missourian.

A sharp and hilarious detective story with a lotta heart and genuinely laugh out loud funny moments. Highly recommended.

This was a book that defied expectations at every turn and I enjoyed every minute with it. Kept me guessing and needing a scoreboard to keep track of the wild characters lurking behind every page. Need to tackle the rest of the series.

there was a post a month ago that was like why do millennials who lived through 9/11 act like they lived through a world war which is a pretty weird thing to say about an event that started an ongoing world war

Listen, a book like Robocop vs. The Terminator isn’t gonna change the world but where else will you see a robot cop nuke an army of terminators or a dinosaur step on a robot dog. Not in Anna Karenina or As I Lay Dying, that’s for sure!

This is one I’ve wanted to read for years and this adaptation didn’t disappoint. As far as the story goes, it’s beat for beat but Walt Simonson’s art makes this pop. Legendary work on display from a master of the craft.

This was a weird and off-putting(complimentary) book that kept me on my back foot the entire time. Creepy and intriguing throughout with a heart wrenching ending. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

You ever read a scary book and place it face down when not reading it? I don’t think I’ve ever read a more profane, well written, and utterly horrific book as this. Scary good stuff here. The glow-in-the-dark cover is a terrifyingly superb idea.

I don’t expect a Wonder Woman graphic novel from 2023 to be this prescient about government raids and extrajudicial executions but here we are. The main character kind of took a backseat to an omniscient narrator/bad guy but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Six years ago I was a stones throw from 300 lbs. and started riding again and I thought “man, it’d be cool to ride from one side of town to the other…” Well, today I’m a stones throw from 200 and just scratched riding from one end of town to the other off my bike bucket list!!!
