Comic & Manga Reviews
Do you ever see a trade cover and just know that you have to read it? That's what happened to me when I saw Bunny Mask: The Chipping of the Teeth. This is a cover that screams to be read. At least, it is for those that enjoy horror and weirdness. Written by Paul Tobin, with artwork by Andrea Mutti (art/colors) and Taylor Esposito (letters), Bunny Mask: The Chipping of the Teeth is a twisted tale of man and the things of nightmares.
Getting Closer to You Volume 1 has got to have one of the cutest covers I've seen in a long time (okay, not that long, but still!). It may or may not have factored into my reasoning for picking it up, but I'm okay with that.
Miles to Go is the latest graphic novel to come from the mind of B. Clay Moore, Stephen Molnar, and Thomas Mauer. It is impossible to run from one's past forever in this story. Eventually, there's nowhere else to run.
It's been a few months since I read some manga that had more of a crime element mixed in, so I decided to give Island in a Puddle Volume 1 by Kei Sanbe a try. However, the cover may throw you off here – as it looks super sweet.
For those looking for a new murder mystery, there's always Out of Body. This particular graphic novel feels like Dorian Gray crossed with the earliest scenes of The Walking Dead, with a dash of thriller/mystery for good measure.
I've been in the mood for a cute and charming manga lately, so I decided to dive into Nighttime for Just Us Two Volume 1 by Maki Miyoshi. If you're dealing with a similar craving, it hits the spot.
Have you ever wondered what the ever after would look like? Well, the creators (Olivia Cuartero-Briggs, Luca Merli, and Dave Sharpe) behind Silver City have, and this is what they've come up with. To be upfront and clear: Silver City is probably not suited for all readers. It covers dark and heavy subjects, including death (obviously), gun violence, suicide, rape, and mass causalities.
Who's in the mood for some science fiction with a helping of monsters and gore? If so, then check out Blackguard Volume 1 by Ryo Hanada.
