Comic & Manga Reviews
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.
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.
Okay, so I know that V.E. (Victoria) Schwab writing graphic novels is not new (she wrote a tie-in series for her Shades of Magic world), but this is the first time I got to read the issues/volumes as they came out, and I am so very excited about that!
Last of the Irin Volume One kicks off a new series full of gods, feuds, a fight for survival, and so much more. Written and illustrated by Rob McMillan, this is a tale that is larger than life. In many ways, reading this felt reminiscent of the early days of Warhammer, though with more visual elements to guide readers along.
Are you a fan of His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman? Well, did you know that there's a graphic novel adaptation of the series in the works? I certainly didn't! It wasn't until I spotted The Subtle Knife on NetGalley that I realized this fantastic creation existed.

Geiger is a new series from Image Comics, perfect for those who love dystopian tales! With artwork from Gary Frank and Brad Anderson written by Geoff John, this chilling series cuts right to the bone.
As you might imagine, Paper Girls: The Complete Story is a massive graphic novel. It compiles all six volumes of the story into one, letting readers easily binge through the whole thing. It's actually rather quite timely, given the announcement that The Paper Girls will get turned into an Amazon TV series (is it out yet??? Pretty, please?)
The characters of the hit series (and Netflix show) The Old Guard return in The Old Guard: Tales Through Time Vol. 1. If short stories and vignettes are your thing, then you're absolutely going to love this collection.
Are there any of you fans of a webcomic called My Life as a Background Slytherin? If so, you’re going to love Bloodlust & Bonnets. This is Emily McGovern’s (creator of the webcomic as mentioned above) first go at a graphic novel, and her humor is on point in this new story.
