Page Turner: Shattered Blue by Lauren Bird Horowitz
Tropes aren’t always a bad thing. They sometimes still serve as fun devices, or get reworked in a way that either makes a case for them or transforms into something refreshing. A number of those tropes aren’t bad to start with, which is why they get used so much. Then there are others. The ones…

Myles: As I mentioned last month, IDW Publishing‘s Godzilla in Hell is a conceptual dream come true.
