Comic & Manga Reviews
Let me start this review by stating that Mermaid Prince is not at all what I expected. Maybe that’s a little bit my fault, but the title, cover, and description led me to believe that I would get one type of story - one that was creative and playful. Instead, I got something that was fairly somber.
Oh man, I am so happy that Birds of Prey is back in action! Honestly, I don’t even care that the team members have changed (since the last time I read it); I’m just happy for more chaotic fun.
Before I dive into my review, I just want to point out that I Witnessed is historical fiction. It is based on real events (the Lizzie Borden trial and murders), but Charlie’s story is largely imagined and exaggerated. I’m not sure I would have read the graphic novel otherwise, you know?
I couldn't have been happier to learn that ZomCom was getting published! ZomCom'ics collects over 200 pages of this comic collection, and I have to say - rereading it was an absolute delight.
Harley Quinn’s chaos never gets old. Well, that’s probably not true. I’m sure I’d find her character very tiring if I knew her in real life. But I don’t! So I enjoy the strange brand of chaos Harley’s known for in Harley Quinn Vol. 1.
Okay, can I please have the authority to give an award for the cutest graphic novel? No? Bummer. If I could, I'd give that award to Hungry Heart. It was sweet, fun, and heavily character-driven - just how I like them!
Man, The History of Everything hits hard. If you’ve ever had a friend move away or even a fight with a friend, this book will feel so real to you. It’s basically about two friends doing their best to stay connected while finding themselves in the process. It’s a whole vibe.
I’m not going to lie; I’ve been curious to see how far the whole Jen and Jack arc would go. Naturally, I dove into my copy of She-Hulk Vol. 5. I just had to find out! This is She-Hulk, after all.
Let me start by saying that pretty much none of Love Advice From the Great Duke of Hell went the way I expected, and I love that. This series is so quirky and so much fun; I’m lucky to have had the chance to read it.
The Kiss Bet Volume One is a roller coaster of a read, from start to finish. I wonder what sort of chaotic adventures will happen in the second volume. (Yes, I know I could hop on Webtoons and read more right now).
