Sinister tidings and true love

Crema by Johnnie Christmas

August 3, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Crema is the kind of graphic novel that I should like, but something was falling flat for me. Maybe it was the fact I have read a lot of graphic novels recently and it is time for a break. Or maybe I have read a lot of GLBTQ+ books (which are great, but sometimes I need to cleanse the palette). … [Read more]

A Familiar story (Sort Of)

Anne: An Adaptation of Anne of Green Gables (Sort Of) by Kathleen Gros

August 3, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Anne: An Adaptation of Anne of Green Gables (Sort Of) was adapted by Kathleen Gros. They are the same creator of Jo: An Adaptation of Little Women (Sort Of). Which, I preferred to the Anne story for several reasons. The biggest being it was the first book I had read by Gros and therefore, the format … [Read more]

Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins Library Edition Series I & II Collection by Matthew Mercer

August 3, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I only know the TV series of Vox Machina so my feelings are from hat incarnation of everything (and by everything, I mean the D&D game it is based on, the videos, and anything online or other book formats). The creators of this collection are Matthew Mercer, Jody Houser, Matthew Colville, Olivia … [Read more]

Vann Nath: Painting the Khmer Rouge by Matteo Mastragostino

August 3, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Vann Nath: Painting the Khmer Rouge is a book you cannot rate. There are many pieces that come together to make my opinion and my feelings about it. Matteo Mastragostino made a biographical graphic novel about one man and the torture he faced that was a gut punch, smack upside the head and a heart … [Read more]
