I'm SO excited that Lies My Teacher Told Me is getting a graphic novel adaptation! I hope this makes it even more approachable to a larger audience. That said, I sat down and read the original novel in preparation for the graphic novel. Yes, I wanted to read and compare the book that compares history books. It seemed appropriate.
Oh! What an interesting start to a new series! Gachiakuta Vol. 1 kicks off a new series by Kei Urana, who happened to apprentice under Atsushi Okubo. Obviously, I had to give his work a try! Thus far, I'm not disappointed.
Humanity has been discussing first contact with aliens for as long as we've daydreamed about space. In the far-flung future, that time is finally here. The Eo'Tax is an advanced civilization, and they're willing to work with humans to reach an understanding.
It's been a minute since I dove into a retro science fiction tale, and Arca seemed like the obvious choice. It blends one of my favorite genres with my love of graphic novels. I mean, what more could a girl ask for?
Pénélope Bagieu's story is autobiographical and deeply compelling. Like many of us, she has hilarious, sweet, and bitter-sweet moments in her past, and now is her time to talk about it. To put her words to page, she first dug out her diaries, pulling them onto these pages for a refreshing take on her teen years and more.
I've come to a conclusion: I will pretty much read anything that my favorite authors write. That officially includes Stephen Graham Jones. I fell in love with his work when The Only Good Indians was released, and that isn't going to change anytime soon.
Parasocial is a dark graphic novel full of commentary about the potential risks of parasocial relationships? In truth, I appreciate what this story is trying to say, even if it does so by going to storytelling extremes.
Misfits have a way of finding one another. For this group of misfits, their home is Utown. It's not the cleanest or nicest neighborhood around, but it's theirs, and that's something! Or is it? Gentrification has a way of ruining everything, especially for those that have the least.
We all like to think we live in a perfectly normal neighborhood. But what happens when we focus too hard on being “normal” and “fine?”
How many stories begin deep in the forest? Yet that is precisely where Mira's story begins. She's been living with her physician, Rei, who is desperately searching for a way to calm her...affliction. Said affliction just so happens to be her ability to call forth darkness whenever she's upset or distressed. As a little girl, you can imagine how often that happens – and how distressing it is.
