Magical Beatdown, Vol 1 by Jenn Woodall

by Leave a Comment

I think it is time to either pause or cancel my Silver Sprocket subscription. I had gotten several books that I enjoyed and never would have read otherwise if it hadn’t been for this subscription. But in a recent shipment I had nothing but disappointing reads. The first I read was Magical Beatdown, Vol 1 by Jenn Woodall. It is a short zine that is created with light (almost faded, but still popping) blue and pink colors, quickly drawn looking lines and is overly simplified. […]

I don’t even know what bizarre is anymore

Golden Wind (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 5) by Hirohiko Araki

by Leave a Comment

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 5: Golden Wind stars Giorno Giovana, a teenager in Italy who turns to crime after being raised poorly by a negligent mother and abusive stepfather. Shenanigans and tragedy ensue, as is routine with the JoJo series. Prior JoJo knowledge isn’t necessary for Golden Wind, which is easy for me to say since I’ve read the previous four parts and might not notice if some critical information relies on them. Taken by itself, the story is a fun road-trip-in-a-turtle story about a […]

Spoops: The Little Spirits of Halloween by A.J. LoCascio

by Leave a Comment

When I get excited about a book I find it funny that I don’t run out and tell everyone and anyone about it. Yet, I almost missed telling you about Spoops: The Little Spirits of Halloween by A.J. LoCascio and illustrator Laurie Conley. I will start by saying the very least I can say is it is an outstanding and fun story. There is  a delightfully classical element as well as a modern tone which allows it to work for many ages. It is simple as […]

Who remebers the cartoon, Biker Mice from Mars?  Funko also is putting the three main mice out in a toy.  I might have made a little geek-squeak…..   Biker Mice from Mars Vol. 1: Red Planet Panic by Melissa Flores, Daniel Gete

Dan might be a dolphin, but James the Stanton needs help!

I Think Our Friend Dan Might Be a Dolphin by James the Stanton

by Leave a Comment

I think that James the Stanton might be a little crazy. Okay, a lot crazy. Afterall, why would someone write a book (or more actually a zine) called I Think Our Friend Dan Might Be a Dolphin and proceed to make one of the more warped things I have ever read (and honestly I think I’ve read several warped things). I hated everything about this book. It was too small. It was too blue. It was really really NSFW or  anyplace else for that matter. […]

Hello Sleep by Saehan Parc

by Leave a Comment

When I write a review, I write it out first, so I can organize my thoughts. Sometimes I cannot get to the review right away and need to remind myself of what a book was about. Hello Sleep by Saehan Parc and translated by Selene Bright was one of them. This does not mean it was a bad book, but it was not one that grabbed my attention completely.  The character of Sleep is a happy character that is learning about how to sleep. They […]
