Anna fiddles as the town burns

Burn It Down: Rigsby WI Volume 2 by S. E. Case

March 27, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

A year ago (March 2025) Rigsby WI by S. E. Case came out and March 2026 Burn It Down: Rigsby WI Volume 2 came out.  Flux: Rigsby WI Volume 3 will be out in 2027 and I’m hoping that means volume four is in 2028. Of course, I want all the stories for each character now, as I’m not happy that I have to wait a year for book three, let alone until 2028! You see, I became invested in the four main teens/friends of […]

I keep saying I’m not a horror reader, and yet…

Be Very Afraid of Kanako Inuki! by Kanako Inuki

May 22, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I keep saying that I am not a horror reader. However, I am trying to go outside my comfort zone in reading, and that would include horror and manga. And guess what? Be Very Afraid of Kanako Inuki! is both.  Not only are there several stories within this collection, Inuki (author and illustrator) has extras at the end talking about influences, an interview with them from several years ago, things that scare her, manga that they read and much more. There is also (at the […]

Little healthy murder

Lorna by Benji Nate

March 18, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

If Wednesday Addams, Daria and Emily the Strange got together they might make Lorna. Only Lorna is more psychotic. To say that Benji Nate created a graphic novel with mature themes and dark humor is an understatement. First and foremost, there is violence. And while it is not “out in the open” (though obvious) there might be issues for the reader and there are triggers so you have been warned. Lorna likes daggers/knives. No, she loves them. Her hobby is threatening boys with them. She […]

The Best School Sport Ever?

January 11, 2015 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Some of the opening words of this graphic novel are “Studying the art of tankery will help you to gain the essential skills of becoming an elegant woman! …We challenge you to start down the path of tankery and strive to become a vibrant and beautiful woman today!” The premise of this series is totally ridiculous but it works. In the world of this series, high school girls are encouraged to take up ‘tankery’ as an after-school sport which involves actual combat in actual military […]
