BOOK REVIEW – Pinocchio: Vampire Slayer by Dusty Higgins and Van Jensen (Graphic Novel)
By Marty Mulrooney
Pinocchio: Vampire Slayer is a 2009 graphic novel by Dusty Higgins and Van Jensen.

It was named among the Top Ten Graphic Novels for Teens by YALSA in 2010 and the first printing sold out within a few months.

Gemini Rue was released today (24th February 2011) via digital download and can also be purchased on Limited Edition CD until the 27th February 2011.

Back To The Future: The Game returns this month with Episode 2: Get Tannen! In my review of Episode 1: It’s About Time I described it as “a film-to-video game adaptation done right” and Episode 2 undoubtedly builds upon these solid foundations. However, I also speculated that many players would be “hoping for a greater challenge across the board in future episodes”. Therefore, I approached Get Tannen! safe in the knowledge that the overall experience would be fan-pleasingly authentic, but also hoping deep down that the gameplay would be far more substantial this time around…
