Damnit, Disney.

Nimona by Noelle Stevenson

February 2, 2022 by Travis_J_Smith 1 Comment

Now I have more reason to be pissed about the animated adaptation of Nimona being cancelled by Disney. Them buying Blue Sky Studios and immediately burying one of their most promising projects was enough of a reason for me to be angry, but I hadn’t even read the graphic novel at the time of seeing that news, so I didn’t know if I was right to be so upset. People seemed to love Nimona, though, it sounded like a promising property for an animated movie, […]

A really fun thing about failing to write reviews in a timely manner means that I get to go back and re-experience the joys of comics in order to accurately recount my thoughts! Hooray! It’s harder when I procrastinate with novels, but digging back through volumes of comics is far from the worst way to kickstart a writing project! Unluckily? Luckily? I have nearly a dozen Giant Days to catch up on, so I can relive their adventures while I hunch over my keyboard on this […]

I started this review back in March (EEP!) and it has been my albatross now for nearly two months. Double EEP! I adored the web comics, and when I was feeling down around the Covid-aversary I dug into some good- old- fashioned- comfort- comics. What began as a pick-me-up purchase of the first volume became a “tune it all out” obsession once I realized that more volumes were available on both Scribd and Hoopla. My diversion turned into a marathon reading of volumes 1-12 with […]

Snubbed and Bingo #3!

Herman Melville’s Moby Dick: the Graphic Novel by Christophe Chaboute and Herman Melville

November 27, 2018 by ElCicco Leave a Comment

 cbr10bingo Snubbed Christophe Chaboute’s graphic novel adaptation of Herman Melville’s novel Moby Dick was nominated for a 2018 Eisner Award for Best Adaptation from Another Medium. It lost to Damien Duffy and John Jennings’ adaptation of Octavia Butler’s Kindred. I’ve never had a great desire to conquer Moby Dick. It was never assigned in any of my high school or university literature classes, and frankly, the story of a crazy old sea captain trying to exact revenge on a white whale sounded weird. And then there’s […]
