Comic & Manga Reviews
Okay, so I’m a huge fan of John Allison and Max Sarin. I also adore Agatha Christie and the Great British Baking Show, so I was primed to love this series from the start. As such, I might be biased when I say that The Great British Bump-Off was a hilarious read.
So, I typically try to avoid overtly religious tales because I don’t like getting certain themes or points shoved in my face. That said, I love John Allison, so I wanted to give Steeple a try. Side note: I read this series when it first released, in single-issue format. But I wanted to re-read it and make sure I didn’t miss any surprises or endings (I didn’t, I just want more).
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?
Stranger Things has been jumping on board the novel and graphic novel train lately. So far, there are two novels out (soon to be three), and now there's a second graphic novel series in progress.
Upfront confession: I did not read Resident Alien before the TV Series came out. It was actually the other way around. I watched (and loved) the show, so I wanted to see what the source material looked like.
Strayed #1 is the beginning of a new tale from Dark Horse comics. It follows Lou, a gifted cat, and his owner, Kiara Rodriguez. Their tale is one that’ll be perfect for comic book fans and cat lovers alike. Oh, and did we mention it’s set in space?
Okay, if you pitch a series to me and describe it as Firefly meets Cowboy Bebop, but with a twist – you know I'm going to read it! Enter Space-Mullet Vol. 1. This is the first volume in a new series, and I've got to say – it's got SO much personality. If you're looking for something new to check out, be sure to give this one a try.
Emma's heart has been utterly broken. It feels like she'll never be whole again – like her life would be better if she felt nothing. So one day, a mysterious stranger appears and offers to take all her problems away. All she has to do is wish her heart away, and it'll be gone.
Just A Minute: One Minute reviews If You Find This I'm Already Dead #1
Most of the time, I really enjoy tie-in graphic novels and the like. That said, I feel like I could have skipped Stranger Things: The Bully and not felt like I was missing out. It is a bit of a "take it or leave it" sort of story; forgive me for saying.
