Five Nights at Freddy's: Fazbear Frights Graphic Novel Collection #1 by Various

February 27, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Five Nights at Freddy’s: Fazbear Frights Graphic Novel Collection #1 is a modern day R.L. Stine (a much more mature Goosebumps meets Fear Street). It is spooky, creepy, and clever. I am not sure why people like the games/videos/etc. (as I have never interacted with them, and only in the last year or so have heard of them due to my older nephew having gotten into them. Which trust me I really am unsure of why as this is not usually his thing), but this […]

“News always reached Miss Marple, one way or another.”

Marple: Twelve New Stories by Various

December 29, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

I would read more of these Agatha Christie short story collections featuring notable authors, for sure. Even the ones where Americans tried and failed to capture that British Marple feeling were entertaining in their failure. But most of these stories were pretty successful! One nailed it completely. Highlights for me were the stories from Ruth Ware (I know!), Naomi Alderman, Elly Griffiths, Kate Mosse, and Leigh Bardugo. This may be the easy way out, but I’ve just copied and pasted my Goodreads status update mini-reviews […]

Justice League Unlimited: Girl Power by Various

Dear DC Super-Villains by Michael Northrop

DC Super Hero Girls: Midterms by Amy Wolfram

September 9, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

When I get bored, I look for trouble. And since I have no idea what trouble looks like, I usually find a book, or five books. Granted, none are more than a 150-200 pages each. Just quick young graphic novels that were not really “that young” with some mature themes, issues and images going on. In Supergirl Adventures: Girl of Steel we are introduce to Kara (aka Supergirl) from a young girl on her home planet, to the day Krypton was destroyed and the sister […]

September 2, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I’m a kid of the 1980s and still a fan of good Saturday morning cartoons. One of those was The Transformers (okay good might be a loosely used term, but I stand by it) and sure, I was a little into My Little Ponies, but not like my younger sister (who btw is mom to a nephew I will mention in a bit, but as I only have the one sibling, that is redundant). When I saw that the powers that be had created a […]

Introducing: Miguel O’Hara

Spider-Man 2099, issue #1 by Peter David

February 22, 2022 by fauxschizzle 1 Comment

Peter Parker wasn’t my first Spider-Man. He’s one of my favorite characters, don’t get me wrong, but Peter Parker’s origin story was collective knowledge, it wasn’t new. It was picked over turkey with all the baggage of a holiday meal. I knew going in that 2099 would be different, but I didn’t know what that meant at the time. I was twelve, eating lots of Brooklyn pizza, and guzzling Arizona iced tea at a rate surely to put me on the diabetes fast-track (thankfully, it […]
