Sacred Heart – 3/5 Stars This is a graphic novel takes place in a high school and is about a girl trying to figure out life, having weird interactions with the pretty trope heavy versions of fellow students, and more or less coming to some kinds of understandings. I have to emphasize with this book how bodily the art is. The art is very cartoony and rough-edged, and not in a kind of R Crumb way, but more so like webcomics. At the same time, […]

The Not so Environmental Planeteers for the 21st Century

The Dysasters: The Graphic Novel by P.C. Cast

February 17, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

When you mix two modern teens with modern attitudes and who have powers to control elements; then learn that there are others like them you get the less-than-politically correct Planeteers for the 21st century. The Dysasters: The Graphic Novel by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast is the adaption of their novel series. Foster Stewart and Tate “Nighthawk” Taylor could not be more different. Foster is the foster (or adopted, it changes depending on who is talking/what page you’re on) daughter of a man who experimented […]

And if your beginning to more advanced reader is looking for something new, Scholastic and their Acorn Books have two new additions to either add to or start your collection with (as they both come out in September 2020) First, we start with The Great Bunk Bed Battle (Fox Tails #1). Based on some experiences author Tina Kugler has had with […]

Yes, I know there are two similar images but couldn’t decide which one I liked more as art is the strongest part of the books

Angel Catbird Volume 2: To Castle Catula by Margaret Atwood

Angel Catbird Volume 3: The Catbird Roars by Margaret Atwood

February 13, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Angel Catbird is like a car crash: you want to, but you just cannot look away. There are too many puns and way too long in places. There are cat, vampire, rat, bird and more, puns. There is good-old-fashioned pulp fiction streaming across the pages. Not to mention a modern-to-look-at set of illustrations that are seeped deep in the old school vividly colored and uniquely detailed comic illustrations. Margaret Attwood’s text and Johnnie Christmas illustrations saturate Volume 2 and Volume 3 with these elements. Then, […]

“I and only I did this to myself”

Redshirts by John Scalzi

February 13, 2020 by Debcapsfan Leave a Comment

I guess I have been doing this review thingy for a while because I remember when Redshirts was being reviewed on the Cannonball, and I remember the reviews were mostly positive. I try not to go back and read reviews of my book until I’m done with my review, unless I just can’t think of what to say. Do you ever have a review like that? It’s frustrating. I got my copy of this review in a subscription box of sci-fi and fantasy books and […]
