Two erasers in a pencil case

Inbetweens by Faith Erin Hicks

May 6, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

When you are a fan of an author, or at least with me, I find one of two things happening with a book: Either  I love it so much that even if it is bad, I don’t notice. I am just a fan blinded by my fangirling mind. Or I am terribly disappointed and figure that there is no way my author wrote it, as I have way too high expectations for it. Thankfully Inbetweens by Faith Erin Hicks was neither.  It is in between […]

Age of Reptiles Omnibus, Volume 1 by Ricardo Delgado

September 15, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Age of Reptiles Omnibus, Volume 1 by Ricardo Delgado is an expressive and talkative wordless graphic novel. However, things were a smidgen repetitive by the final section/chapter as we follow several different species, but all have similar needs and actions. I recommend not reading any of the introductions until after finishing if you are an adult (and since I do not see kids reading them I do not think this will be an issue) as they can, even subconsciously, tell you how you will and/or […]

Old vs New, Tradition vs Progress, Stagnation vs Movement

Avatar The Last Airbender: The Rift by Gene Luen Yang

July 30, 2020 by Mobius_Walker Leave a Comment

Avatar Aang, in the midst of a celebration of the first jointly governed colony, is beset by visions of one of his former lives, Avatar Yangchen, the last air bender avatar before Aang. The visions remind Aang that it is time for Yangchen’s festival, so everyone’s favorite friend group sets off: Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, and the Air Acolytes fly to a pristine to cliff to honor a giant statue of an unknown woman. Tensions rise almost immediately between Aang and Toph. Aang encourages valuing […]
