Comic & Manga Reviews
Fowl Language has done it again! Tweenage Wasteland was a hilarious and delightful read from start to finish. As always, the comics are short, sweet, to the point - and very relatable. As I mentioned in the summary, it doesn’t matter if you’re a teen now or were a teen once; the content is gold (In reality, it’s undoubtedly even funnier for parents of teens).
Dreamover is a cute story with a solid foundation. The core of the world is friendship and connections between individuals. I have always loved a good story that explores these boundaries and how they ebb and flow, so I knew I had to read it.
How did I miss this story when it first came out? No, seriously. It's so much fun. Birdking Volume 1 is a rich and dark fantasy world with interesting characters and high stakes. What's not to love?
Ghosts, legends, and lost family secrets - where do I sign up?! But seriously, A Haunted Girl is the perfect recipe for a paranormal graphic novel in my book. The pacing was the only reason I didn't love this book as much as I wanted to (and boy, did I want to). It's all over the place.
If there’s one thing I can say about Akogun, it’s that it is one heck of a whirlwind. This graphic novel will keep you on your toes from start to finish. It’s a dark read with many surprising and brutal twists.
How did I not hear about Suitor Armor sooner? I’ve only read the first volume of this series, and I am 100% hooked. I need more, and I need it now (thankfully, it is originally a webcomic, so I can dive right in).
Attaboy is both wholly nostalgic and unique, all in one go. While the storytelling style (and art) is very original, the overall story is designed to resonate with fans. It succeeded! At least with this fan.
Oph. I knew that whatever Kieron Gillen wrote next would be a total gut punch, and I was right. We Called Them Giants is short yet highly emotional, with our characters left to face the unknown and worse.
I've always been enthralled by Vincent van Gogh's artwork and story. As such, I think I've read over a dozen biographies about the artist (no, really; I'm pretty sure my family preorders every new one that comes out, knowing it'll make a good gift for me). So, obviously, I had to nab Vincent: A Graphic Biography while I had the chance!
I have to give it to the creator; Solo Leveling always finds ways to surprise me (even though I always feel like I have a solid grasp of the story). Solo Leveling Vol. 8 brings us back into the fold, but the world seems to be changing and changing fast.
