If the Bible story took place in the DC universe, its beginning might look something like Once & for All, Chapter 1. This first chapter in a graphic novel series takes the essence of the bible story and gives it a sci-fi twist. The world is created by “All” to be in harmony, but some didn’t want to be in harmony and so were cut off from the wider divinity around them, creating a dark world of forsaken people. Within that world are the Heroes, an elite, selective police force that use their strength and the simulated ... View Full Review

The author looks back at his life as he starts his retirement, having finished his working life as founding president of a community college in America. He calls himself ‘the accidental educator’ as he didn’t start out intending to be a college principal, but also I think because he feels the importance of the informal lessons in his life, as well as his formal roles in education. He pays tribute to the many people and events (both good and bad) that shaped his life and his character. I enjoyed reading about the college aspects and how ... View Full Review

But will they be able to find answers and will their actions cause any ripples of change.
I found the technology aspects of The Watchers really interesting. It was an innovative concept that the oppressive PGR took technology designed initially to help people and turned it into a means of mind control and suppression. This helped to ... View Full Review
