- [Webcomics, Part VII: Schlock Mercenary](https://ungpressbooks.com/2012/08/webcomics-part-vii-schlock-mercenary/) - Written by Matthew Pardue After the last two webcomics, I thought I’d take us back to something with a story. A twelve-year-long story with lots of smaller stories inside it (I promised myself I wouldn’t make an Inception joke). This also marks my first science fiction review (unless you count Two Guys and Guy, which
- [Webcomics, Part VI: Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal](https://ungpressbooks.com/2012/08/webcomics-part-vi-saturday-morning-breakfast-cereal/) - Written by Matthew Pardue As promised, here’s Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal (SMBC from here on out). I compared it to xkcd last week because of how many different topics you’ll see in both, but on reflection, I think their connection is a bit different. True, SMBC covers a lot of subjects, but more than that,

I'm majoring in English (with a concentration in Literature) and minoring in Gender Studies, and I'm hoping to continue my English education all the way to a Ph.D. My love of the English language has blossomed while here at
- [Manga Mondays: Mushishi Review](https://ungpressbooks.com/2012/08/manga-mondays-mushishi-review/) - I recently noticed an odd recurring trend in all of my manga reviews up to this point. The three titles I’ve reviewed thus far all start with the letter “B.” This by no means is an indicator that all good manga titles start with “B,” or that if that familiar second letter of the alphabet
- [Frankfurt: The Book Fair](https://ungpressbooks.com/2012/08/frankfurt-the-book-fair/) - Some of our visitors probably already know why the Frankfurt Book Fair is such an important event to attend if you’re in the publishing business.

- [Webcomics, Part Error 404--Review Not Found](https://ungpressbooks.com/2012/08/webcomics-part-error-404-review-not-found/) - Written by Matthew Pardue Yeah, this week's review isn't gonna happen, unfortunately. I forgot about another project that just reached my desk; I should've planned better and written the review in advance, but this whole procrastination thing has taken me pretty far, so I'm loathed to give it up. Anyway, I should be back on
- [Manga Wednesday: Black Jack Review](https://ungpressbooks.com/2012/08/manga-wednesday-black-jack-review/) - It may not be Monday anymore, but I’m not about to forgo my weekly duty of examining and recommending the best of the best manga that Japan has to offer! It’s somewhat ironic that on a week where I suffered through illness, I also decided to review a manga about a doctor. This week we’ll

- [Off to Frankfurt We Go!](https://ungpressbooks.com/2012/08/off-to-frankfurt-we-go/) - The tickets have been bought. The hotel room has been reserved. The German refreshing has begun (did you know that to moo in German is “muhen” and to bark is “bellen”? I’m learning many useful things if I want to make farm animal noises at my waiter). I am so happy to announce that UPNG
- [Webcomics, Part V: XKCD](https://ungpressbooks.com/2012/08/webcomics-part-v-xkcd/) - Written by Matthew Pardue My first review referenced xkcd; it seems like a nice shift from last week’s story-heavy webcomic, so now’s as good a time as any to get to this one (I spend a surprising amount of time trying to figure out which order I’ll do these in). Like Two Guys and Guy,
- [Manga Mondays: Bunny Drop Review](https://ungpressbooks.com/2012/08/manga-mondays-bunny-drop-review/) - Last week, I introduced all of you to one of the, if not the best, seinen manga series on the market. This week, we’ll be shifting away from the grim and war-torn battlefields of Berserk and instead visiting modern day Japan to take a look at the more recent josei series, Bunny Drop. Written and

- [Webcomics, Part IV: Unsounded](https://ungpressbooks.com/2012/08/webcomics-part-iv-unsounded/) - Written by Matthew Pardue By now, hopefully you’ve all seen Coty’s review on Berserk. I’ve heard a fair bit about it before, although I’ve never read the manga. Still, I was glad to see his choice, because a dark, adult fantasy story with horror elements makes for a nice lead-in to Unsounded, a…dark, adult fantasy
- [Manga Mondays: Berserk Review](https://ungpressbooks.com/2012/07/manga-mondays-berserk-review/) - For my inaugural review, I decided to go with the “go big or go home” approach and review what is arguably considered by many manga aficionados, myself included, to be one of the best manga ever conceived. I’m speaking of course about Kentaro Miura’s epic dark fantasy, Berserk. Originally created in 1989, Berserk currently has

- [Webcomics, Part III: Two Guys and Guy](https://ungpressbooks.com/2012/07/webcomics-part-iii-two-guys-and-guy/) - Written by Matthew Pardue My reviews so far have been about long-running webcomics with both overarching stories and smaller subplots. I do like these kinds, assuming they’re done well; they’re the heavy novels of webcomics. But sometimes you don’t want a novel, particularly if you come into the series after it already has five or
- [Manga: An Introduction](https://ungpressbooks.com/2012/07/manga-an-introduction/) - Continuing with our trend of unique book reviews, I’ve recently decided to throw my hat into the ring and start a weekly manga review column. For those of you that read my Summer Reading List back in June, you may recall that one of the entries was a title called Black Jack (For those of
- [Webcomics, Part II: The Adventures of Dr. McNinja](https://ungpressbooks.com/2012/07/webcomics-part-ii-the-adventures-of-dr-mcninja/) - Written by Matthew Pardue This week I’ll be talking about a webcomic that’s considerably less grounded than the Girl Genius world of impossible science, immortal mutants, and zombie-making bugs. Much like last week’s review, today’s focus is more or less a dramatic comedy. Unlike Girl Genius, The Adventures of Dr. McNinja reads like something Michael

Or coming along at all, really. Not because I can’t find the books—one’s been sitting by my bed for the past week and a half—but because I’m lazy and working on other things. This throws an obvious

I like easy-to-read, relaxing stories that take me away from the boredom and heat of the summer. These are just a few I've chosen for this summer's fun reading list. 1. City

- [Summer Reading List, Part I](https://ungpressbooks.com/2012/06/summer-reading-list-part-i/) - I’m embarrassed to say that I don’t read as much as I used to, and not nearly as much as I should; most of what I’ve read in recent months has been for work.
