But what if a Latino PI adds new perspective and context? And what if he dies too?This is essentially the premise of Calavera PI by writer and artist Marco Finnegan (Morning Star, Night People). Five years after his heroic death, Detective Juan Calavera rises from the grave in Dia de los Muertos. Together with a friend/co-worker named Maria, Calavera ends up “unraveling a…

After buying, borrowing and reading ebooks using a dozen ereaders, my top recommendation is Kobo’s latest, the Clara Colour. But…
