“you can play as a dog, a boot, or a trebuchet”

Nimona by Noelle Stevenson

by Leave a Comment

Man, I really wish Monopoly (oh wait- World Domination) had a trebuchet. I’m usually the shoe, but I would LOVE to be a trebuchet. It has been perpetually gray here in New Hampshire for the last…oh jeez, three weeks? I needed something familiar to hunker down with while waiting for the sun to return, and while shuffling around my house I remembered LittlePlat‘s recent Nimona review. A great review about a great book? Just the spark I needed! Thank you, LittlePlat, and thank you to […]

Good for you, not for me.

Lumberjanes Volumes 1 & 2 by Noelle Stevenson

by 1 Comment

Reviewing Volumes 1 and 2 together because it feels fair for such short books, and because I don’t think I have enough to say for them separately. I don’t even want to write this review because I like Noelle Stevenson so much, but I think “Miss Quinzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet’s Camp for Hardcore Lady Types” should have been a clue that Lumberjanes is just too much whimsy for me. The Lumberjanes graphic novel series (which is still ongoing), created by Noelle Stevenson of Nimona fame […]

She Grows On You

Nimona by Noelle Stevenson

by 10 Comments

More comfort reads! More comfort reads! Nimona is a real favourite of mine. Before Noelle Stevenson saw success with the She-Ra series, she was writing Nimona—an absolutely glorious webcomic-turned actual-comic. The setting of Nimona isn’t actually too far divorced from what we see in She-Ra: rather high fantasy on the surface, with a lot of nerdy science and magi-tech elements scattered throughout. We have heroic and villainous knights in shining armour with jousting sticks but said knights also have high-tech research labs where they develop […]

The Fire Never Goes Out: A Memoir in Pictures by Noelle Stevenson

by Leave a Comment

The Fire Never Goes Out: A Memoir in Pictures is not for everyone. It took me some time to get through Noelle Stevenson’s memoir. Before I go into the details, I will say, read this book as many times as is needed. This is not an easy read, not just because of the themes, but because of how it is written. A graphic novel is not always the best way to present yourself but also, what better way for an artist to do just that? […]

CBRBingo – Illustrated. A delightful romp

Nimona by Noelle Stevenson

by Leave a Comment

Recently I was singing, well, really, yelling, the praises of the reboot of She-ra: Princesses of Power and its creator Noelle Stevenson on my Facespace page. Many like-minded folks also sung along. Someone commented asking if I had read Lumberjanes (I had) and Nimona (I had not) so here we are! Brief aside: if you like things that are awesome, you should read the Lumberjanes and watch She-ra. I binged through She-ra on a sick day and I have zero regrets about it. Stevenson creates […]
