The best gift I received this Christmas

The Exemplary Husband: A Biblical Perspective

Stuart Scott

Focus Publishing (MN), 2002

Could The Bible Be More Clear?
In today's age of feminism, it becomes even more important for us as confessing and Christian husbands to give no ground to the schemes of the devil. It is squarely 100% our responsibility to engage with the world on the basis of our biblical mandate. But we must be ...

Wastelands: Stories of the Apocalypse

Stephen King, Cory Doctorow, ...

Night Shade Books, 2008

A really good read
One could argue for ages on whether all the stories included in this book are true "wastelands" type of stories, regardless it is a very enjoyable read cover-to-cover

Stephen Colbert's Tek Jansen #1

Stephen Colbert, John Layman, ...

Oni Press, 2007

Tek Jansen - a must read!
When I heard that the Tek Jansen comics were coming out, I was at first nervous. Would the comics be just as good as the show, or would they fall short of Stephen Colbert's hilarious brand of comedy and disappoint me? Luckily, Tek Jansen issue number one managed to ...

X-Men: The Complete Age of Apocalypse Epic, Book 2 (Bk. 2)

Fabian Nicieza, John Francis Moore, ...

Marvel Comics, 2005

Il più drammatico "What if...?" degli Uomini X
Premetto che considero una piaga, per il fumetto popolare americano, l'abuso di statagemmi (o meglio mezzucci) narrativi quali universi paralleli, viaggi nel tempo e stravaganze di tal fatta. Questi espedienti ammorbano la vita degli X Men sin dai tempi di Dyas of ...

Part 3 of an complex crossover

The Books of Magic

Neil Gaiman, Scott Hampton, ...

Vertigo, 1993

Gaiman's bittersweet best
I can't believe I'd never read the original miniseries before. (Although I've certainly enjoyed the ongoing series). Despite the age, The Books of Magic doesn't feel dated at all and maintains the uniquely bittersweet, fairy tale tone that is characteristic of ...
