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? […]

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 […]

Do I like Nimona? Honestly? I am not sure. Let me start at the beginning: Nimona is a girl who invites herself to become the sidekick of Lord Ballister Blackheart, the infamous, has a pretty cool metal arm, villain of the village.

CBR11Bingo – Rainbow Flag! The Lumberjanes’ latest adventure begins when troop leader Jen takes the scouts on an orienteering lesson.  Naturally, weird things begin to happen despite Jen’s plee for “no hijinks!” but the girls aren’t really to blame. Rather, their bizarre compass seems to be acting up, and the ‘janes start disappearing one by one, thrown into some sort of alternate void where they meet a cohort of robot butlers.  EVIL Robot Butlers?! But which conflict is worse: taking down a bunch of evil […]

Graphic Novel Flop

by Leave a Comment

I am not sure if there were pages missing from my copy or there is a series before this that filled in some blanks, but the entire time I was reading I felt like I was in the middle of the story. I never saw what I would consider a beginning and when it ended I was thinking “Wait…that’s it? Shouldn’t there have been some kind of wrap up?” I know this is a series, but still the story ends where it started, in the […]
