The other Robin

Teen Titans: Robin by Kami Garcia

April 17, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport  own Between my planned vacation and my two days dealing with family health issues, I got a little reading done. I went for the lighter reading (with a few exceptions) but one of the lightest was Teen Titans: Robin (book four). Kami Garcia’s Teen Titan series has covered Raven, Beast Boy, Beast Boy and Raven (plus friends) and this time we meet the Robins. Or the Wayne’s. Well, the Wayne-Grayson combo. After learning about Raven and Beast Boy and their powers, and a bit […]

They lobster the kelpcakes

Officer Clawsome V01 Kelpcake Crisis!   by Brain Smitty Smith

March 20, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport  already own  As the description says of this Brain Smitty Smith graphic novel, Officer Clawsome: Kelpcake Crisis!  this is Dogman meets Spongebob. And if you like them, you will like this. There is a bit of “James Bond-like” elements with a few villains (there is a mechanical shark that has one heck of a bad diet…I mean eating garbage is one thing, but whole buildings?), but overall, everything is straight forward and not overly “sophisticated.” Then again, a talking lobster who is a former […]

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

Hello, My Name is Poop by Ben Katzner

February 20, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a 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 […]

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 […]
