DC Super Hero Girls V05: Out of the Bottle Graphic Novel. by Shea Fontana

February 23, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I was looking for something fun, light, and easy to read. And though I noticed awhile back that the last two times I took out books from the library I ended up in the ER, I decided to take a chance. I picked out five titles (with a sixth in case one was not available) and ended up with four. Good average and considering the one I am reading; I probably will not be getting through them all too soon. Therefore, I picked up first  […]

Good Intentions

Harleen by Stjepan Sejic

April 15, 2020 by Halbs Leave a Comment

Harleen is part of DC’s newish Black Label comics. They’re more adult in theme than the normal DC roster, and probably most (in)famous for including an illustration of Batman’s penis.  While that particular panel created a lot of buzz, I do wonder whether the Batmember sort of…misrepresented what Black Label comics are supposed to be. I confess, though, I don’t regularly buy comics these days. I just grab the well-reviewed trades from the library. Maybe my perceptions are wrong. I digress. Everything you need to […]

Somehow, against all odds, this works!

Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass by Tamaki, Mariko

June 17, 2019 by cosbrarian Leave a Comment

Harley’s story is revamped to set her origin during her teen years, and by making this change, we get to enjoy her character without having to negotiate how she got to where she is. In Tamaki’s version, Harleen Quinn has always been something of an oddball and a screw-up with the best of intentions. Raised by a single mom, she takes on being the protector of her family sometimes, even if it lands her in juvie here and there. When she’s 16, her mom lands […]

DC Super Hero Girls Past Times At Super Hero High by Shea Fontana

Kid-friendly take on DC’s finest

DC Super Hero Girls: Past Times at Super Hero High by Shea Fontana

September 26, 2017 by J Leave a Comment

I enjoy the DC Super Hero Girls series. It’s a fun entry point for younger readers ready to move up to chapter books, populated with friendly versions of popular superhero characters. My daughter (8) is not really a reader, but she gets very excited about these books. The bad guys aren’t terribly scary, which works well for my sensitive kiddo. The gang takes a field trip to the Jurassic period to learn about dinosaurs. The kids get the full dinosaurs experience: chased by a Tyrannosaurus […]

Great Harley and Ivy Stories, Non-Bus Friendly Art

Harley and Ivy: The Deluxe Edition by Paul Dini, Bruce Timm

August 17, 2017 by Halbs Leave a Comment

Harley and Ivy is a followup to Dini and Timm’s Mad Love, a Harley Quinn-centric collection I gave a hearty five stars to only a month ago. While Mad Love was about Harley and Joker, this book follows the hijinks of two of Batman’s more famous villains.  The main story in this collection is a fun around-the-world adventure in which Harley and Ivy cause trouble in Gotham, traipse through an exotic rain forest, and make their debuts in Hollywood. The varied settings provide opportunities for a […]

The Best of the Dini/Timm Batverse

Batman: Mad Love and Other Stories by Paul Dini, Bruce Timm

July 3, 2017 by Halbs 2 Comments

Growing up, Batman was my guy thanks to Batman: The Animated Series. I loved the look and the mood of the show. Two guys largely responsible for that landmark show are writer Paul Dini and illustrator Bruce Timm. The third member of that B:TAS trinity is voice director Andrea Romano, who gave us our definitive Batman – Kevin Conroy. The success of the animated show translated well back into comics, many of which have been collected and reviewed by me in The Batman Adventures.  Dini […]
