C. Nathan Coyle is a coffee-loving Methodist architect living in the Lexington, Kentucky, area. He dreams of traveling and gardening, but rarely gets to do either. (Life is busy these days, but he prefers it that way.)

Nathan used to be quite proficient at keeping up with entertainment/media, but a combination of kids, work, age and SO MANY OPTIONS has left him thoroughly overwhelmed and often one season behind everyone's favorite series. (Also, it's worth mentioning that he used to be a huge comic-book geek, but who can afford them these days? Shame on you, DC & Marvel!)

Nathan thoroughly enjoys reviewing material for Rambles.NET, as the contributors often fall outside of the mainstream (not that there's anything wrong with that). He wants to thank each writer and artist for submitting material. Even if he takes a critical tone, please know that your work is still appreciated and substantial to the literary and musical fabric of society.

Reviews by Nathan include:
