Jordan’s memoir Piccolo is Black: A Memoir of Race, Religion and Pop Culture takes you on an emotional journey as you read about a person who has seen and experienced life in an interesting way and was able to maintain himself as both a Nerd, Adventist, and a BLACK MAN; with you rooting for his success until the final page.

Readers, we’ll have one hell of a ride with Viz Media’s newest manga, Mashle: Magic and Muscles. Not what I expected at all.
Chainsaw Man is a comedic - horror - macabre that is worthy of its October debut. With its release date slated for October 6th, 2020, it’s no wonder this manga has surpassed 3 million readers in Japan. It has the right amount of hack and slash, with the chainsaw being one of horror’s ideal weapons of death and destruction. I’m pumped and as I continue to read this manga, I hope Denji gets a girlfriend and hopefully touch some boobs before this series concludes.
I saw on my IG timeline that the legendary comic book great, Stan Lee just passed today. The legendary ‘Art God’ has transcended from this Earth and moved to the realms of the Marvel Universe in the form of Valhalla, the Deep Cosmos or any other Cosmic Universe under the guise of the Marvel Franchise. And while I really don’t know how to feel at this moment, I felt that the best way for me to cope is by writing about how comic books introduced me to a different form of Geekdom, all thanks to Stan Lee.
Book-Con was more than your average book convention, it was literally book-heaven as the Jacob Javitz center played landlord to this event. What made it so much fun was the rich tapestry of diverse authors and books from around the country. All I can say is this; I went, I saw and I will definitely be attending next year. In other words, Book-Con was freaking awesome!!
3 Kings: Diddy, Dr. Dre, Jay-Z and Hip-Hop’s Multibillion-Dollar Rise by Zack O’ Malley Greenburg (ZOMG), is an inspirational guide that highlights the rise of three of the best known artists in Hip-Hop. ZOMG’s analysis of the musical culture first takes on a biographical tone as the preliminary pages focus on Hip-Hops’s originators and place of residence for its origin. The literature takes on a different vibe as the book highlights the various paths each artist went through and how they were able to gamble and capitalize on themselves as a brand to secure ‘the bag’ for themselves (make a lot of money).
