Why does Superman always get top billing?

Superman's Good Guy Gang by Rob Justus

March 26, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Perhaps I should not admit I read something like Superman’s Good Guy Gang by Rob Justus as it is, well, a bit on the less than mature side. This is not for the adult reader who likes a more sophisticated book, but if your child (or you) are a typical five to eight-year-old who has a slightly goofy sense of humor and likes superheroes then this is for you. So, in other words I will admit I read it and say I know there’s an […]

You are as brave as you know

Brave Enough by Rob Justus

May 8, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Since I knew that Brave Enough was a Rob Justus production, I could see hints of their illustrative style. Especially with the skeleton that was meditating and looks like Death from Sparkles & Death novel series. However, had I not known that I do not think I would have realized it as the two books are different. Brave Enough is a picture book that came out last year. It is a book about two siblings (Younger Brother and Older Sister) who are off monster hunting. […]

So, you’re Brad Pitt? That don’t impress me much, but this book did

Death & Sparkles book one by Rob Justus

May 8, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

When Sparkles is being a real pain in the butt, if Death sneezes, Sparkles farts. Yes, there is little kid humor (and this kid found it amusing) in Death & Sparkles book one. Yet, there is a lot going on that is serious in the middle of all of this humor. The idea of fame and true friendship is the focus, while we have evil managers (Colonel Parker had nothing on Sparkles manager!) and cupcakes. Lots of cupcakes. While some sensitive readers/listeners might not be […]
