Comic & Manga Reviews
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).
They’re back! I love these Candy Hearts and all the relatable humor they bring to the forefront. Anyway, The Secret Lives of Candy Hearts is reading, whether you’re a longstanding fan or just found the series.
Oh boy. El Fuego was intense. I have many feelings about them, and I’m unsure how to describe them! So I guess that’s something - if you’re looking for a graphic novel that will make you feel, this one is worth checking out.
The Mushroom Knight Vol. 1 is an interesting story about the organic side of magic. That’s a fascinating concept, so I knew I had to dive in right away (see my side note on why that was a mistake).
I'll admit, this is probably the most conflicted I've felt about reviewing a book in a long, LONG time. On the one hand, I enjoyed the brutal reality that comes with relationship drama. On the other hand, it felt a little…forced and heavy-handed at times.
Ahhh! As a massive fan of the Cult of the Lamb game, I was excited by the news of a graphic novel adaptation. Better yet, it seems like Cult of the Lamb Vol. 1: The First Verse may be the first in a series? I can hope!
Dreamover is a cute story with a solid foundation. The core of the world is friendship and connections between individuals. I have always loved a good story that explores these boundaries and how they ebb and flow, so I knew I had to read it.
If there’s one thing I can say about Akogun, it’s that it is one heck of a whirlwind. This graphic novel will keep you on your toes from start to finish. It’s a dark read with many surprising and brutal twists.
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.
