I knew this book would be great going in because it won both a Caldecott Honor and Printz Honor award, but I was still completely blown away. Definitely the most beautiful book I’ve read this year and maybe ever. I would hang so many of these panels up on my walls as standalone art. Not only is the art gobsmackingly stunning, the story is well written as well. Rose and Windy spend every summer together when their families stay in cabins at a lake in […]
It’s scary to be brave
My 11yo daughter loved Telgemeier’s Sisters, Smile, and Drama, so this was a must-order for me when it came out last week. We opened the package this morning and she and I have both already read this sweet graphic novel from cover to cover! My 8yo son is up next. Catrina and her family are moving to a blustery coastal California town in the hopes that the climate will be better for Catrina’s little sister Maya, who has cystic fibrosis. Catrina is torn between wanting […]
Paul Scheer Wrote a Sci-Fi Comedy Comic!
Did y’all know that Paul Scheer wrote a comic book? I had no idea! Because I like comics, comedy, and space, Amazon suggested I check out Aliens Vs Parker. Paul Scheer, the comic/actor/writer/podcaster, was listed as the author. I double-checked to make sure it was the same Paul Scheer, and it is! Wild. This trade paperback collection of a four-issue run was published by BOOM!. I have previously reviewed BOOM! comics and noted that they often excel at concepts but underperform in the delivery of their […]
“Oh, for God’s sake, it’s Patsy!”
This series is my new favorite thing. Patsy Walker/Hellcat is really funny and spunky and awesome. It ranks up there with my other favorite, The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl. You can read my full review here. P.S. The title is from this guy here: I actually think about this scene and the line delivery all the time.
80’s wrestlers, ghosts, betrayal, indie comics, and more!
Do you enjoy 1980s professional wrestling, indie comics, social media, metal, fantasy, and juvenile humor? Yes? Then For the Title is the book for you! As you can probably tell from the book cover, this is a silly comic. It tells the story of a man called Warrior. He receives a dream visit from a ghost called Macho Ghost. The Macho Ghost needs Warrior to win “the belt” so that Warrior gets a “Champion Wish”. The Champion Wish can let you do anything! Warrior can […]
I Do Love a Punny Title
I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of food memoirs as their own thing. I’ve read a few, and I have a whole shelf on my Goodreads labeled “food related”, but I just never quite made the connection until Book Riot’s Read Harder Challenge included reading one and I had no trouble at all picking a couple to put on my to read list (most were there already). Cannonball Read loves Lucy Knisley, so I decided to start with hers. Because graphic memoirs and novels […]
