I like uni uni unicorns! And cats! This book! And Venus (okay not her)

Unico V01: Awakening by Samuel Sattin

October 11, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The updated version of Osamu Tezuka (1928-1989) beloved tale Unico V01: Awakening has been created by Samuel Sattin and Gurihiru.  It is a sweet, but has a little edge, tale about a unicorn who has angered the goddess Venus, for no other reason than her jealousy of his beauty and how he is worshiped by her earthly followers. However, in a rare act of defiance, one of her servants defies Venus by hiding Unico from her. Living through time and space, Unico will have many […]

My mummy has fleas, she got them from meeeeee!

Mummy & Me: A Monster's Tale by Danesh Mohiuddin

October 11, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The Mummy & Me: A Monster’s Tale by Danesh Mohiuddin is the typical child being a child and trying to be a good child, but well, you know things happen, but with not so typical characters, story. Mummy’s love their children but sometimes it is tiring. Even when they do their best, like using their indoor howls (or so they think). But dancing is fun. Slurping lunch is a delight. And getting ready for bed when the sun starts to shine is divine! And in […]

Race against the tide

Crystal Cave (Sueño Bay Adventures, Volume 5) by Nancy Deas and Mike Deas

October 11, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

For the most part, you can read Crystal Cave (Sueño Bay Adventures, Volume 5) by Nancy Deas and Mike Deas separately from the others in the series. However, I am assuming it probably is best to start with book one, Shadow Island (I wasn’t sure who/what the pet/friend of our main character was). The story itself is not necessarily a new one, but it is told in a fun way that keeps you reading. Good illustrations and a nice fantasy/mystery/realistic story. The idea is that […]

Dirge has one unique style that is going to be a huge hit with the right adult audience. I am sooooooooo not that audience

I Can Count To Ten by Roman Dirge

October 11, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Roman Dirge is one SICK dude! Therefore they have a huge hit on their hands with I Can Count To Ten as there are a lot of  other disturbed individuals out there. I am glad that he put the disclaimer in I Can Count To Ten (and I read it) as you know (as Dirge mentions) that people will buy this book thinking it is a cute, child-friendly book about learning to count. (However, it probably should be on the cover, not a page or […]

My books; not your books….

All the Books by Hayley Rocco

October 11, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Piper, a book loving chipmunk and I have a lot in common. We are both book lovers. We have cute, chubby cheeks, we’re not keen on sharing our books, and we both love books. Did I mention that already? Well it is true. And in fact, I’m a book dragon. Well, you might call it hoarding, but I call it dragon. And I would say that Piper is a dragon, too. Only I don’t go as extreme as she does. You see, Piper loves her […]

Fluffy lamby and blood

Cult of the Lamb Vol. 1: The First Verse by Alex Paknadel

October 11, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Possible triggers (including, but not limited to violence, cults, magic) I have no clue what the publisher description means: In partnership with Devolver Digital and Massive Monster, Oni Press proudly presents Cult of the Lamb: The First Verse-the hugely anticipated first graphic novel exploration into the sprawling cosmology of the millions-selling, multiple BAFTA Award-nominated video game phenomenon that has Polygon begging players to “smash that worship button”! That’s good….. Right? There is more with: ANIMAL CROSSING MEETS HADES: This is Animal Crossing with sex and […]
