Comic & Manga Reviews
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!
Oh goodness. I went into Castle Swimmer Vol. 1, not really having any expectations (I didn't read the Webtoon series), and holy cats! This series has so much heart it's impossible not to fall head over heels for it.
@purr.in.ink is giving the internet what we've always wanted – a full collection of cat-related comics. Comic and cat lovers rejoice because this slice-of-life comedy is everything you could have ever wanted.
If you love paranormal thrillers and mysteries, The Strange Tales of Oscar Zahn Vol. 1 is the comic series for you. It's out of this world, with a ghostly investigator (see what I did there?) and plenty of paranormal investigations to behold.
Oh yay! I'm so glad the (published) adventures continue in Nothing Special Vol. 2! I really adored the first volume and had questions about where the story would go from here. Now I have my answers...and I want volume 3. I'm so greedy, I know.
I'm unsure what to make of The Light Conjurer Vol. 1; I'm not even sure where to start my review. Hrm. Okay! Let's start with the fact that we should have been given more time to know the characters.
Lavender Clouds is a collection of slice-of-life comics centered around mental health and overall well-being. It's one of those comic collections that hits hard for those who have ever felt this way. In that sense, I feel like this book couldn't be more timely (thanks, 2020).
Giga Town: The Guide to Manga Iconography is exactly what the title promises – a collection of guides and informative pages, all about the different symbols and icons used within manga. All while using cute creatures to help illustrate the point!
Yes! I fell in love with The Glass Scientists thanks to volume one, so I am thrilled to have gotten my greedy little hands on The Glass Scientists Vol. 2. It is everything I could have hoped for – and quite possibly more.
Navigating With You is not much what I was expecting, but it was a delight to read. It's the story of two passionate young women with vast dreams and a commitment to finding something they love.
