Hilo Volume Five: Then Everything Went Wrong by Judd Winick

Do You Remember the Summer Before? (Black Sand Beach, #2) by Richard Fairgray

June 20, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Sequels are interesting. Sometimes they are better than the first book, and sometimes not even close. And when you get to book five in a series, sometimes you are more excited than you could imagine and other times you are thinking it is time to stop helping my uncle the logger keep his job and save a tree or two. Hilo Volume Five: Then Everything Went Wrong by Judd Winick is a mix of the above. This volume is a “middle of the story” story. […]

A Great Daredevil Story, Unfortunately Out of Print

Daredevil by Mark Waid Omnibus #1 by Mark Waid, Paolo Rivera, Chris Samnee, Marcos Martin, Javier Rodriguez

February 16, 2022 by GentleRain Leave a Comment

I love Daredevil and I really enjoyed Mark Waid’s run when it was coming out. I’d wanted to get the trade edition for a while, but the price had put me off. The value for money here is iffy for the casual reader, especially as the book is now out of print. I got a decent deal on eBay (originally retailed for $100, I got it for $119 vs the $130-150 it’s going for on Amazon), and I had wanted this for years so it was […]

Up Up and Crash… after saving the day

Sort of Super by Eric Gapstu

February 3, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

At first, I almost did not finish this book due in March 2022. I was thinking that Sort of Super was just another kid superhero who has the brain of a grape. One should not be thinking “Dumba$$” about an eleven-year-old/middle school kid. But Wyatt is a dumb dumba$$. I understand not being able to handle his powers or having misunderstandings (we all have had to calibrate to our “other left”), but even a kid should know what a “Muggle Dumbledore” means (not that he […]

A cat and three girls decided to have a couple graphic novels made for them…

Cat & Cat Volume 1 Girl Meets Cat by Christophe Cazenove

Cat & Cat Volume 2: Cat Out of Water by Christophe Cazenove

Super Sisters by Christophe Cazenove

October 12, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The team of Christophe Cazenove and William Maury have created the series Cat and Cat, the series Super Sisters, the (regular) series Sisters and the Sea Creatures series (which I have not found/read yet and has different illustrations). When reading Cat & Cat Volume 1 Girl Meets Cat and Cat & Cat Volume 2: Cat Out of Water, I did not realize Super Sisters was by the same people. And of course, the same happened with Super Sisters. I figured the similar feel to the […]

Batman Begins

Batman: Year One by Frank Miller

September 25, 2021 by ingres77 Leave a Comment

Batman was created in 1939 as a dark vigilante waging his own personal war against the criminal underworld. The comics built on the pulp detective fiction that was popular at the time, and were heavily influenced by The Scarlet Pimpernel, Zorro, and other masked heroes. In the post-war years, Batman was softened so that he would appeal more to children. Despite still selling well, Batman faced obstacles in the 1950s. The industry itself struggled to hold on to the adult readers it captivated in the 1930s […]

So much fun it helped with my reading slump!

Heroine Complex by Sarah Kuhn

June 9, 2021 by Dome'Loki Leave a Comment

Fellow Cannonballer, Teresaelectro, first brought Heroine Complex to my attention. Then it was a featured book title for Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month at Mysterious Galaxy. I was about to go and to pick up May’s book order, when on a whim I called and asked if Heroine Complex was in stock. It was and I purchased it over the phone, to bring home with the books that were waiting at the store. Due to events this year, I have found reading to be […]
