A new creative team at the helm of Thor #1 means some major changes are on the way. It's been a long time since somebody other than Jason Aaron has written Thor's plot, and it's safe to say that fans have been curious to see what Donny Cates will bring to the series.
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.
Okay, so before I get into this review, let me start by saying I didn’t play the video game Disney Twisted Wonderland. So I went into Disney Twisted-Wonderland, Vol. 1, very blind about everything that was about to happen.
Holy cats. Dandadan Vol. 6 is a whirlwind of events. We have three characters (four? Should I count Granny Cat?) fighting for their lives, all while dozens of antagonists run around, get in the way, and try to kill everyone else. It's a chaotic mess.
Ahhhh! Where has this series been all of my life? But seriously, I’m loving Villains Are Destined to Die. It’s a darker isekai, but I think it works well. I’m always on the edge of my seat, uncertain about what the world will throw at Penelope next.
The Tower in the Sea is the latest graphic novel showcasing the stunning world of Ismyre. Here is a world where seers and ordinary magic are commonplace – yet for many, it is still an illegal subject to teach or learn. Not that this has ever stopped anybody.
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!
So, hrm. I both love and hate Insomniacs After School Vol. 1. No, wait, that's too strong. Really, I just struggled to get into the swing of things. It's a decent read, but it's clearly not my cup of tea. So, take my review with a grain of salt.
The Way of the Househusband Vol. 10 continues this comedic and delightful series – in hilarious fashion. Okay, that's probably not so much of a surprise at this point. We're ten volumes in at this point, so we're all well aware of the antics Tatsu can get into.
