Book Review: Enchanted and Hero by Alethea Kontis

    Monday’s child is fair of face,     Tuesday’s child is full of grace,     Wednesday’s child is full of woe,     Thursday’s child has far to go,     Friday’s child is loving and giving,     Saturday’s child works hard for a living,     But the child who is born on the Sabbath Day     Is bonny and blithe and good and gay. This rhyme opens Enchanted, the first in a series of the tales of the Woodcutter sisters. When we first meet them, Sunday, the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter, is out in the Wood, writing stories in a journal. She meets an enchanted frog named Grumble, and the rest, as they say, is history. Alethea Kontis hooked me in quickly with the easy conversational tone of Sunday’s encounter with Grumble. The Princess and the Frog is a fine story,

Book Review: A DARKLING SEA by James Cambias

Two species of aliens, a frozen world, and a no-contact policy that is more than badly bent are the ingredients of A Darkling Sea, a first novel by short story writer and roleplaying game supplement writer James Cambias. I’ve been familiar with Cambias’ roleplaying work for a long time, most notably the GURPS: Mars and GURPS: Space supplements. The rigor and careful research in those supplements translates here to a novel quite well. Ilmatar is an Europa-like body, a gas giant moon with an ocean covering the surface, a layer of frozen water kilometers thick insulating the liquid interior ocean and letting the hydrothermic vents warm the ocean underneath to

The World SF Tour: A Comics and Graphic Novel Reading List?

Since I’ve been the one blogging about comics here (Mike Underwood doesn’t count), I figured I could do something special for the World SF Tour:  read more SF/Fish work by creators from elsewhere.  I already read tons of Marvel titles, with a few indies and DC titles tossed in, but most of the folks behind those works are from the U.S.  So I went a-googling for works by people from elsewhere…and didn’t come up with much at all (a few things here or there).  Short of searching every single country on Earth, I haven’t the foggiest where to find new or upcoming comics by people from outside the U.S. in English (translated or otherwise).  The only exception is Japan, whose comics industry is so large that there are entire magazines dedicated to discussing it (manga rules, by the way). This is where the Internet comes in.  I’m interested in reviewing or discussing SF/Fish comics by creators from all over the world, published whenever (slight preference for newer-ish works).  And if you have a way to find this stuff OR you’ve got suggestions OR you can share this with folks who might have some information, I’d appreciate the help. So…what should I be reading?
