Fluffy lamby and blood

Cult of the Lamb Vol. 1: The First Verse by Alex Paknadel

October 11, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Possible triggers (including, but not limited to violence, cults, magic) I have no clue what the publisher description means: In partnership with Devolver Digital and Massive Monster, Oni Press proudly presents Cult of the Lamb: The First Verse-the hugely anticipated first graphic novel exploration into the sprawling cosmology of the millions-selling, multiple BAFTA Award-nominated video game phenomenon that has Polygon begging players to “smash that worship button”! That’s good….. Right? There is more with: ANIMAL CROSSING MEETS HADES: This is Animal Crossing with sex and […]

When “Crank it up” doesn’t mean the music

Crank by Ellen Hopkins

October 20, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Ellen Hopkins is a thoughtful and interesting writer.

The mayhem of the life, feeling or event Hopkins wants to show you is not easy, yet Hopkins handles it with a respect to the reader and subject. Crank could have had more to it, […]

Little Sister has punch

Jonna and the Unpossible Monsters volume 1 by Chris Samnee

October 12, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I was going to include Jonna and the Unpossible Monsters volume 1 with Barb the Last Berzerker not because they are by the same author(s) and/or illustrator(s), or even because they had similar themes.

One is on a journey to stop an evil wizard and likes to have a chat or two, the other hits first, second, last and does not talk much […]
