		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a danger in creating science fiction for the ideas to overwhelm the story and characters.  That doesn&#8217;t happen altogether in Contraband, but the book suffers from it.
The story is set in the near future, and attempts to extrapolate the evolution of mobile media technology and the impact of online user-generated video content on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Man&#8217;s Best Friend is a book that&#8230; stretches the boundaries a bit.  It features an erotic love story about a boy and his dog, but it&#8217;s not bestiality.  Not exactly.
The lead story is about a young man named Ukyo, who takes in a friendly stray dog he names Kuro (&#8221;Blackie&#8221;).  But this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The creator bios for Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie concede that neither of them is technically a &#8220;young person&#8221; anymore.  So what does that say about someone actually too old to get most of the neo-nostalgic pop-culture references that permeate the magical and musical story of Phonogram: Rue Britannia?
It&#8217;s OK; I can take it. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s no mistaking that the creators of Fusion Anthology have put a lot of time, effort, and money into this project.  The production values and packaging alone shout &#8220;commitment&#8221;.  Which makes it all the more baffling that they didn&#8217;t bother with a good proofreading.  There are some good things to be said [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a bit of irony in the title of The Originals.  Despite the futuristic trappings, it&#8217;s a rather thinly disguised story about teenagers in 1960s England.  The Orginals ride hoverscooters and their parkas have evolved a bit, but they&#8217;re obviously Mods.  Likewise the Dirt ride hovercycles, but the leather jackets are the [...]]]></description>

But despite a blurb [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Invicible Ed is a book that it&#8217;s hard not to like&#8230; but I managed it anyway.  Don&#8217;t get me wrong: I didn&#8217;t dislike it, but despite its strengths, I was disappointed by it.
Ryan Woodward, who wrote and did most of the art work, is unquestionably a very talented artist.  And he&#8217;s versatile, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Top characters, great gags, ludicrous action,&#8221; says the blurb on the front cover of Tozzer and the Invisible Lap Dancers, a quote from Maxim magazine.  Well, two out of three, maybe.  Unfortunately the &#8220;top characters&#8221; are all Hollywood celebrities or the characters they&#8217;ve played, not Tozzer or any original character.  And &#8220;ludicrous&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s the yellow mask.
That - more than anything else - made it hard for me to take Empire seriously.  People often make similar comments about superhero comics (or movies) - that the brightly-colored spandex and capes look silly - and I guess I&#8217;m conditioned enough for that not to bother me.  But Mark [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You don&#8217;t have to be a wannabe cartoonist to harbor some resentment for Craig Thompson.
It does help, though.
Having his first graphic novel (Goodbye Chunky Rice) heralded as a brilliant debut, having his second (actually-novel-length) graphic novel (Blankets) become the poster child for serious sequential art for the year it came out, and then have his [...]]]></description>
