Azula in the Spirit Temple (Avatar: The Last Airbender) by Faith Erin Hicks

Poiko: Quests & Stuff by Brian Middleton and Rebecca Taylor

October 12, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Some days I find the hit of all hits when it comes to books and sometimes I find a book that is good but is not OMG Best ever! And that is the theme of these two graphic novels. I enjoyed them, I am glad I read them, but I am not going onto any sequels most likely with one and the other is a book in a series I will continue to read, but hope these “mini stories” are a smidgen stronger. And I […]

Ghosts and dreams

Ghoster Heights by Corey Lansdell

Heart Takes the Stage: A Heart of the City Collection (Volume 1) by Steenz

Mason Mooney: Paranormal Investigator by Seaerra Miller

September 19, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Usually I write round ups for picture books, but when I recently found three graphic novels for the mostly aged eight and up, I had trouble writing fleshed out reviews, as they were simple, but not simplistic. And though a lot is going on, I was thinking a book report would not work. Therefore, I combined them for a quick list of IF YOU NEED A READ, COME AND TRY THESE list. Ghoster Heights by Corey Lansdell, Corey Landsell, Kelly Mellings, Becca Carey, and Rebecca […]

This book, like a toot, if forced is probably s**t

Hello, My Name is Poop by Ben Katzner

February 20, 2023 by BlackRaven 1 Comment

I am not sure why I wanted to read Hello, My Name is Poop.  I mean, I enjoy a book about poop as much as the next person, but this time, I should have flushed. Ben Katzner, Ian McGinty, and Rebecca Taylor are probably nice people and their graphic novel had potential, but it went for the obvious crappy joke every time. With a Mary Poppinsesque janitor and a diverse cast exploring the power of words, friends, and forgiveness, we had a story that could […]
