A Review of “The Legend of Oz: The Wicked West”
“The Legend of Oz: The Wicked West” is an action packed retelling of the original Wizard of Oz tale, but with a western theme. Landscapes filled with plateaus and mesas, along with magenta colored skies give authenticity to the setting. The creators do a wonderful job of blending in traditional elements of Oz. Familiar cornfields and the remnants of a certain yellow-brick road are also in place.

Review of "Rex Mundi: The Guardian of the Temple"
“Rex Mundi: The Guardian of the Temple” written by Arvid Nelson and illustrated by Eric J is an impressive graphic novel. The story takes place in Paris. The year is 1933, but with the backdrop of a revisionist past. Avrid Nelson’s France along with all of Europe is still ruled by monarchies. The Ottoman and Holy Roman empires still exist. Guilds and knightly orders exert influence on society, while sorcery is very real and policed by the Church. All these themes are flawlessly interwoven. Despite the factual and historical differences, the tale feels like it takes place in 1930’s Paris.
