The witch and werewolf go to school and some other things…but it’s not a romance

The Weirn Books, Vol. 1: Be Wary of the Silent Woods by Svetlana Chmakova

November 27, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Where do witches go to school? Well if you are the kids in this book, and are a special kind of witch called a Weirn, you go to the school the humans do. Only at night, after everyone has left and magic makes it morph into a school for the magical creatures. All the usual suspects are there in Svetlana Chmakova’s graphic novel, The Weirn Books, Vol. 1: Be Wary of the Silent Woods, the mean girl (who used to be a friend and has […]

Magical Mystery Ride

A Girl Called Echo Omnibus (Combined Volume) by Katherena Vermette

November 2, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

A while back, I read the first volume in A Girl Called Echo series. And recently I was given a finished copy of the Omnibus. I like the word omnibus. I picture a large bus that has wings or something magical about it. And it carries a lot of things inside of it.  And that fits this story by Katherena Vermette as they created a story that has elements of the here and now, and time travel. Or a bit of magic. I have not […]

Missed book two, but three was still fun

School Trip (New Kid volume 3) by Jerry Craft

October 10, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

While you can read the graphic novel, School Trip (New Kid volume 3) solo, you should read volumes one and two first.  Jerry Craft has created another interesting look into the life and times of the “new kid at school” Jordan, and how he changes, grows and has the crazy growing pains of being a kid today. And these are not just the usual homework, bullies and friend issues, but he is also dealing with being a kid of color, and is different from most […]

Getting your fright on

 Frights from Feral  V02 Last Exit to Feral by Mark Fearing

September 22, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

This  time around, the style is vamped with the chapters having a postcard (mostly, of course, of the creepy variety or at least sinister seeming) starting things off. And this is not the only thing that is different with Frights from Feral  V02 Last Exit to Feral by Mark Fearing.   This time we follow Freya and her friend Monica (the person who runs into Frey’s office (the basement of an old house no longer standing) at the end of book one, as they learn an important clue to the […]

A crazy little thing, but I’m not sure it’s love

A Condition Called Love Volume 1 by Megumi Morino

September 19, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Manga is a unique format to read. You first have the different style of page set-up and then you have the themes. Though they are familiar (growing up, self-esteem, relationships, school) they can take on a different form then we are used to. There is also a cultural difference with possible different values and behaviors. Yet, I cannot really wrap my head around how the male character in A Condition Called Love Volume 1 by Megumi Morino is okay in any culture. At first, he […]

School for Extraterrestrial Girls Vol. 2: Girls Take Flight  by Jeremy Whitley

September 19, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I am giving School for Extraterrestrial Girls Vol. 2: Girls Take Flight by Jeremy Whitley a 3.5 as I need the rest of the series (and there were some story flow issues that I had). This is a series where I need everything it has all at once. I can handle it! This nickel and diming Tara and her friends story is going to make me spontaneous combust! Like Tara does one day in class.   That part of the story is from book one, where we learn that Tara is […]

  • Emmalita on “Would you please make haste with your mental breakdown. We have masculine flesh to consume.”I’m glad it was fun. I thought there might be a romance, but it could have easily have been between demon and host.
