Graphic Novel Reviews

Beyond Race Magazine was founded in 2006, a quarterly magazine geared towards progressive thinkers. And since its inception, I have been writing feature stories for BRM. In 2008, I decided to fill a niche. Other writers reviewed new albums; I decided to cover graphic novels. Here are the links to my reviews:
