Serpieri's 'Druuna'
In 1985, Italian comic book artist Paolo Eleuteri Serpieri made a splash with “Morbus Gravis”, a science fiction graphic novel and the first in what would be known as the “Druuna” series of erotic comics, named after its eponymous hero.

Best Old School Anime
If you’ve been watching both old school anime and recent anime series, you know that a lot has changed in the medium. Compared to the series of the late 20th century, it cannot be denied that the animation quality has improved overall. Kyoto Animation and Shaft became widely popular for their distinct and stylish adaptations of manga and light novels such as Haruhi Suzumiya, Hibike! Euphonium, and the Monogatari Series. It’s definitely difficult to see a series like Ghost in the Shell today, so it’s worth celebrating the best old school anime that have actually stood the test of time.

Best Blue Light Glasses for Gamers
Gaming glasses are a new and essential accessory for any serious gamer, or anyone who spends a lot of time staring at screens. As we all spend more and more time on computers and other devices, there is evidence that the blue light from screens is related to macular degeneration, and more people suffer from eye strain and screen-headaches. Blue-light cancelling glasses for gamers reduce the amount of blue light streaming into the wearer’s eye, ultimately helping to maintain sharp perception of what is happening on screen. As a bonus, they help to reduce overall strain and cumulative damage over time.

The Dark Side of The Force: The Misunderstood Side
One aspect that is present in any Star Wars related media is The Force. Whether it is used by the Jedi or the Sith, the force is everywhere in the Star Wars galaxy. Even people who are not able to manipulate it acknowledge its existence. Everyone also knows that there is the light side of the force, and the dark side of the force. The light side is associated with the Jedi, and the dark side with the Sith. Although it is viewed as evil, and even labeled the dark side, it is not inherently evil. It is just misunderstood, and at the mercy of an organization that gives it a bad name.

'Star Wars' Fan Favorite Kindle Comic Books
Comic books are gateways to the broader universe of Star Wars. My favorite aspect of the comic book medium is the way the art can create a whole new visual take on the Star Wars story, or simply reinforce the pictures in your mind from childhood. Star Wars was unique in the world of pop culture franchises. It began first with the movie and then with the comic books. Ironically it has always been a world where the written word had to do justice to the visual, not vice versa, which is more often the case. Perhaps that is why such close attention to detail whether it be the art, the dialogue or the script, is what makes these Star Wars Kindle comics some of the big fan favorites.
