So, I've had the Cemetery Girl Trilogy on my list for FAR too long. I'm thrilled to finally be getting to it – because, thus far, I'm loving it. The Pretenders is a dark beginning to Calexa's tale, but it's hard not to get invested in it.
Something Is Killing the Children #3 brings us back to a world in which monsters are real. And they have a taste for children. Naturally, this is a dark and gory series, but isn't without hope. Even if that hope rests on the shoulders of a gruff young woman.
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.
Coco lives in a world where magic exists. Unfortunately, she's no magician. That's the one thing she's desperately wanted to be ever since she was a little girl. However, she has also been told that magicians are born, not made. Until one day, Coco sees something that changes her life. Now, she's a witch in training.
It's always a bit surprising when a series does a time jump, no matter how short. That said, it often also leaves room for more character development and growth. So I was happy to see that happen in Scott Pilgrim Vol. 4.
Monsters are real, and they're hungrier than ever. Heroes are also real, though they're not quite what we expected. At least, the one in Something Is Killing The Children #2 certainly doesn't appear to be your everyday hero.
Okay, I have a confession to make: I'm a sucker for the "journalist getting thrown into the supernatural deep-end" trope. So the second I saw Haunt You To The End, I knew I had to read it. That it also included corporate dystopian elements just made it all the more compelling.
Twilight is a master spy. By their nature, spies cannot be famous. But Twilight is as close as they come to being famous for his career. His latest assignment requires him to have the perfect family. While he's found the family, he's working on the perfect part...
It's time to dive back into this series! I had planned on reading it all before the new Netflix series dropped. Since that happened almost a month ago (at the time of writing this), I failed miserably with that goal.
The Rat Queens have faced many strange adventures and creatures over their two series. But none like what they will face in Rat Queens #23. This is a fun side quest, so to speak, while the real danger still lurks in the background.
