“If Thunderclan is to survive, we must have new warriors” — Great Graphic Novel Adaptation of the Classic Series!

Warriors Graphic Novel: The Prophecies Begin #1 by Natalie Riess and Sara Goetter

February 16, 2025 by GentleRain 1 Comment

I’ve already written at length here before how much I enjoy Natalie Riess and Sara Goetter’s work, so it’s no surprise that I was thrilled to see this at the bookstore. I was even more thrilled to realize this is the first of three planned books, so I have two more to look forward to when they publish! Any time artists I’ve been following for a while get a multi book deal, especially to work on a famous media property, I am hopeful this means […]

“With the three of us working together…we’ll find Bessie for sure!”

The Bawk-Ness Monster by Natalie Riess and Sara Goetter

July 6, 2023 by GentleRain Leave a Comment

CBR15Bingo: Queer Lives (one character is trans) I pre-ordered this after enjoying Dungeon Critters so much and I’m glad I did, as The Bawk-Ness Monster was also just up my alley. This book follows Penny and her friends Luc and K on their quest to find the Bawk-Ness Monster, Bessie, before Penny has to move away. She remembers the cryptid saving her when she fell in the lake previously and nearly drowned, and now she wants to find it and thank it before she has […]

5 Stars for a Great Fantasy Adventure Graphic Novel

Dungeon Critters by Natalie Riess and Sara Goetter

June 21, 2023 by GentleRain Leave a Comment

I’ve been following Sara Riess-Goetter’s autobio work for years but I knew she and her wife Natalie had also been working on this all-ages fantasy graphic novel for a long time. I finally picked it up recently and loved it so much that I’ve pre-ordered their next book so I won’t miss it. I could scold my past self for not reading this earlier, because it was so up my alley, but I’ll cut myself some slack. This is a really great book and I’m […]

    It could be fun to track down theories. There’s something supernatural hinted at, though that wouldn’t be satisfying to me...
