The Gloriously Untrue Adventures of Sapphira Review – A Vivid Journey Through Sapphira Olson’s Imagination

-
Image
Every now and then, a comic enters my airspace that reminds me why the medium is a pretty powerful storyteller. The Gloriously Untrue Adventures of Sapphira is one of those discoveries. It is unpredictable, self-aware, and strangely emotional. It’s the sort of book that defies every rule of structure yet somehow feels entirely complete by the final page. Written and illustrated by Sapphira Olson , this opening issue drops you into a world that feels half dream and half diary. A mysterious goddess narrates her own strange existence, while a space kitten drifts through her reality like a spark of chaos. It sounds ridiculous when you try to describe it out loud, but that is part of its charm. Olson uses absurdity as a language of truth, exploring identity and creativity through humour and vivid bursts of imagination. What struck me first about this journey was how alive it feels. Olson’s unique art style brings its own rhythm to each page which sees us moving between bright explosions of...

There is something strangely comforting about routine. You wake up, clock in, and repeat the same process until it becomes second nature. But there is also something deeply unsettling about it when that routine begins to twist into something unfamiliar. When the work you thought you understood starts to turn against you.

And somehow, that job becomes one of the most quietly terrifying experiences of the year. A strange day at work The idea behind The Cabin Factory is simple. You work inside a giant industrial facility that produces small wooden cabins....

Blade Runner 2019 Complete Series Omnibus Review – Expanding the Cyberpunk Classic

-

Blade Runner 2019 is one of those rare tie-in collections that manages to feel both faithful to its source material and daring enough to expand it in meaningful ways. Published by Titan Comics, this omnibus gathers the entire twelve-issue run of Blade Runner 2019, the first major comic project set within Ridley Scott’s celebrated cyberpunk universe. Co-written by Michael Green, who co-penned Blade Runner 2049, alongside veteran comic writer Mike Johnson, and illustrated by Andrés Guinaldo with colors by Marco Lesko, this volume does more than simply repackage a story. It provides a complete and cohesive experience, one that enriches the Blade Runner mythos while standing strong on its own as a noir detective saga. What makes the omnibus immediately striking is how it situates itself within the larger timeline of the franchise. The story unfolds in Los Angeles in the year 2019, parallel to the events of the original 1982 film, yet it does not rely on cameos or overused references to kee...
