Lazy weekend reads

Leon the Extraordinary: A Graphic Novel (Leon Volume one) by Jamar Nicholas

Meems & Feefs: Ferrets from Planet Ferretonia! (Volume one) by Liza N. Cooper

The Prisoner of  Shiverstone by Linette Moor

September 26, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I was having a lazy weekend. I needed reading material that would be fun for the kid me, and not overly taxing for the adult me.  And I found two and a half books that fit the bill. I say two and a half because the third one had a bit more meat on the overall story than the others, so there was a bit more thinking required on my part. However, kids will eat all of them up as they are good stories. The […]

Never meet your heroes

My Buddy, Killer Croc by Sara Farizan

September 20, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The focus of having the character of Killer Croc (Waylon Jones) as the “hero” in the Sara Farizan and Nicoletta Baldari graphic novel, My Buddy, Killer Croc, is a familiar but good twist. However, the one thing I was wondering is if the reader will understand that Killer Croc, no matter how “good or nice” he seems, is not a “good guy” due to how he is mostly good to the main character (or seems to be on the surface). There is an interesting nod to […]

When a Green Lantern fought a bad guy and made a new team member in the process

Green Lantern: Alliance by Min Le

September 19, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

If you like superheroes and especially DC superheroes, you should try some of the (to me) less popular ones, like Green Lantern. And because of the way the Green Lantern is set up, there are literally the possibilities for thousands of different ones. Including kids. We followed the origin story of Tai Pham in Green Lantern: Legacy also by Min Le and Andie Tong. With Green Lantern: Alliance (including Sarah Stern,Carrie Strachan, and Saida Temofonte) we see how Tai is trying to balance school, his […]

A must read for folklore and pop culture enthusiasts

Disfigured: On Fairy Tales, Disability, and Making Space by Amanda Leduc

August 16, 2023 by cosbrarian 4 Comments

Amanda Leduc grew up on Disney just like many kids of my generation. But she grew up experiencing it quite uniquely. Leduc has cerebral palsy, so a world where beauty is judged by perfect dainty feet and graceful dancing is a world that doesn’t celebrate her. Disfigured is part memoir, part fairy tale study, and a beautiful thesis for disability justice. Leduc shares her extremely personal experience of being diagnosed with cerebral palsy as a young girl, of navigating bullying and crises of confidence through […]

This was fun. Exhilarating. This was my chaos.

Petty (Cape & Cowl 1) by S.A. Sommers

August 9, 2023 by carmelpie Leave a Comment

The pharmacy was perfect, and I was only there for the cash. And maybe a new foundation. Eyeliner. Shampoo. Oh, and maybe some chocolate. The manager nodded at one of the employees, who sprinted off to the cosmetics area. “Maybelline!” I called. “Warm ivory!” “Rich alabaster would be better!” she yelled back. ― S.A. Sommers, Petty ************ Farrier folded his arms across his massive chest and leaned against the desk. “We have all these visible heroes. Flying around, running around, leaping over shit. Saving the […]

Junior High but with magic and glitter

Kira and the (Maybe) Space Princess: (A Graphic Novel) (Magic Girls) by Megan Brennan

July 24, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Kira and the (Maybe) Space Princess: (A Graphic Novel) (Magic Girls) by Megan Brennan is a three rounded from a 2.5 rating. This is because on one level this graphic novel is a cute, manga inspired, girl power story. It is a typical “in middle school and it stinks (only I didn’t say stinks)” story. We have the outsider looking in, but wants to be on the inside. However, on the other hand these are not the nicest people in the universe. And I say […]
