The Lighthouse is a slight bit of a book. It's about a young Republican soldier who's fleeing the victorious fascists. He's sixteen, duty-blind, and naive in the way that all sixteen year olds are. Events conspire (as they will) and he wakes up recuperating in an old non-operating lighthouse. The keeper tells him stories and gives him hope. The only question is what will he do when reality inevitably attempts to assert itself into this hidden domain.

Good Ok Bad features reviews of comics, graphic novels, manga, et cetera using a rare and auspicious three-star rating system. Point systems are notoriously fiddly, so here it's been pared down to three simple possibilities:

3 Stars = Good
2 Stars = Ok
1 Star = Bad
