Barb The Last Berzerker V03 Barb and the Battle for Bailiwick by Dan & Jaso

by Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport Different Countries. (The magical realm of Bailiwick) Barb The Last Berzerker V03 Barb and the Battle for Bailiwick is the third installment of the Dan & Jason series. However, while it was still funny, it was not as strong as the first two. It did continue the story of Barb the Berzerker and friends (and enemies) as they battle for their home, families, and friends. We see how different people (monsters, humans, etc.) come together as a team. Now, they do not fight each […]

Fish or fowl?

The Cat, the Owl and the Fresh Fish by Nadine Robert

by Leave a Comment

When reading the title I read, The Cat, the Owl and the Fresh Fish as “The Cat and Owl” making me think this was going to be an Owl and Pussycat remake. Was it going to be “modern” or keep to the classic format? Was it going to be long, short or…. Oh, wait it has this fish thing going on, too. Well maybe I will read then (I thought) as it is going to be different. It is not an Owl and Pussycat story. […]

Well, I wanted to find out what happened next

Stung V02 Cured by Bethany Wiggins

by Leave a Comment

Book two of the Stung series by Bethany Wiggins should be read after you’ve read book one, or some of the names, events and the overall concept will be lost. This time we see in Cured how it follows a character we had seen in book one but was not important to that story arc, the two main characters of book one, a few side characters from book one and a few new people. There are some mature themes such as an event happened to […]

ThunderBoom by Jack Briglio

by Leave a Comment

ThunderBoom by Jack Briglio is a graphic novel about 11-year-old Logan and the adventures he has in his imagination. Which seems normal enough, but Logan’s neurodivergence creates a take on life that makes his relationship to the world and his family and the people around him, hard on him. And hard on his family, too. The nice part of the story is the realism of his parents. They are both overprotected and concerned, but also allow Logan to dominate his environment. It has a modern […]

Okay! So I stole the image from online, but the review is all mine

Delilah Dirk and the Pillars of Hercules (Delilah Dirk, Volume 3) by Tony Cliff

by 2 Comments

Delilah Dirk and the Pillars of Hercules (Delilah Dirk, Volume 3) by Tony Cliff has slightly darker content and images, than the other two novels in this graphic novel series. But it still has the same adventure, humor, and spunk of before. This time we follow our Delilah and her companion, Mr. Selim, as she tries and find a lost city, find treasure, fight the bad guys, try not to die (more than once) and deal with a newfound celebrity status that she really did […]

The Dire Days of Willowweep Manor by Shaenon K. Garrity

by Leave a Comment

The Dire Days of Willowweep Manor graphic novel is funny, sweet, goofy, serious and a light read. There is a lot going on and it is also just a simple story of adventure. IT is diverse without being forceful about it, though Girl Power is in your face (but done with love and humor). Maybe it will not become a classic, but Shaenon K. Garrity will be a writer to look out for. I cannot wait to find more goodies by them. Do I smell […]
