The odds are good that you've heard of the Radium Girls (Ghost Girls'), at least in passing. This is the true story of those women and everything they went through. Written and illustrated by Cy, Radium Girls gives their story a voice and visual elements.
Seriously, who can resist a cover as cute as Penguin & House Volume 1? I love everything about this cover. The title, the colors, the artwork! It's all SO cute! So yeah, I grabbed it and happily dove on it.
After a short break, the ghastly tale of plants and implants is back in Farmhand #15. This is a world that has been steadily getting darker with time, and it looks like it'll brighten up anytime soon. So if you're looking for an original horror worth diving into, this is one to check out.
It isn't every day that you get to see a graphic novel based on a true story, so when Emma Dreams of Stars popped up on my radar, I knew I had to give it a try. Created by Julia Pavlowitch, Kan Takahama, and Emmanuelle Maisonneuve, Emma Dreams of Stars tells the story of a former Michelin Guide Inspector.
Yep! It's another reincarnation tale, which I can't get enough of. I'm going to blame My Next Life as a Villainess for that one. The Abandoned Reincarnation Sage Volume 1 is the latest in a long line of manga with this trend.
Farmhand #14 continues the chilling tale of wayward prosthetics and plants. What at first seemed like a brilliant advancement in technology has quickly turned into a horror story. And the stakes keep getting raised.
As a HUGE fan of Darkhawk, I was so unbelievably excited by the news that the series was getting a reboot. Yeah, I'll be sad to see Chris go, but it happens, right? Plus, I already adore Connor Young. I've always felt that Darkhawk was a seriously underrated character, so it's nice to see him getting some much needed love here.
I'm not going to lie, I totally thought that WIND BREAKER Volume 1 would be a sports manga. Doesn't the cover sort of give that impression? But nope, this one is all about fighting and becoming the best.
Farmhand #13 feels like the issue we’ve all been waiting for. The entirety of this series has been one intense buildup; this issue is the calm before the storm. Although it isn’t all that calm, is it?
It's hard to ignore a title like The Last of the Marvels. It promises many things – a peek at other characters with the Marvel moniker. A threat. And even...hope? It's hard to explain how this title made me feel; mere words don't feel like enough.
