While We the People Is All the People: A Picture Book by Howard W. Reeves and Duncan Tonatiuh

by Leave a Comment

While We the People Is All the People: A Picture Book talks about an important subject, I did not feel there was anything new or fresh added. Howard W. Reeves knows what they wanted to say and that comes across. They wanted to show how we are a community, that freedoms belong to all, and in a poetic fashion shows how we can accomplish this. But we have heard similar things before. However, the presentation of the illustrations by Duncan Tonatiuh was interesting and did […]

Witch Hazel Trouble at TCAF by Colton Fox and Beige Blum

Witch Hazel: Seasons of the Witch by Colton Fox and Beige Blum

by Leave a Comment

A few months ago, my Silver Sprocket subscription selections mostly hit the mark. One that was really good was the Witch Hazel series by Colton Fox and Beige Blum. The one I read was a stand alone, but also a continuation of three others. The first aptly named, Witch Hazel, the second Witch Hazel Trouble at TCAF (or One Shot, I’ve seen both) and the third Witch Hazel: Seasons of the Witch. (Or that is the second and TCAF is the third … I am […]

Magical Beatdown, Vol 1 by Jenn Woodall

by Leave a Comment

I think it is time to either pause or cancel my Silver Sprocket subscription. I had gotten several books that I enjoyed and never would have read otherwise if it hadn’t been for this subscription. But in a recent shipment I had nothing but disappointing reads. The first I read was Magical Beatdown, Vol 1 by Jenn Woodall. It is a short zine that is created with light (almost faded, but still popping) blue and pink colors, quickly drawn looking lines and is overly simplified. […]

Golden Wind (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 5) by Hirohiko Araki

by Leave a Comment

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 5: Golden Wind stars Giorno Giovana, a teenager in Italy who turns to crime after being raised poorly by a negligent mother and abusive stepfather. Shenanigans and tragedy ensue, as is routine with the JoJo series. Prior JoJo knowledge isn’t necessary for Golden Wind, which is easy for me to say since I’ve read the previous four parts and might not notice if some critical information relies on them. Taken by itself, the story is a fun road-trip-in-a-turtle story about a […]

Spoops: The Little Spirits of Halloween by A.J. LoCascio

by Leave a Comment

When I get excited about a book I find it funny that I don’t run out and tell everyone and anyone about it. Yet, I almost missed telling you about Spoops: The Little Spirits of Halloween by A.J. LoCascio and illustrator Laurie Conley. I will start by saying the very least I can say is it is an outstanding and fun story. There is  a delightfully classical element as well as a modern tone which allows it to work for many ages. It is simple as […]
