Girls just want to have graphic hyperbole

Girl Juice by Benji Nate

June 6, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Benji Nate is one screwed up person and you will love or hate their work. Sometimes at the same time, like Girl Juice was for me.  This graphic novel is broken down into two main sections. The first follows four roommates that might not really like each other, but they do seem to love each other and have each other’s backs. Unless there is a cute boy, or work, or you know, they have something better to do. We mostly focus on Bunny (the self-proclaimed […]

Read comics or go to hell (um…I might have done both?)

Good Boy V01: Good Boy Magazine #1 by Michael Sweater and Benji Nate

March 22, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport Own This is the first Benji Nate book they had a part in that I did not enjoy. The concept of Good Boy V01: Good Boy Magazine #1 a Zine format. There are different styles and types of work (done by different authors and/or illustrators) that are included. There is everything from the woman who was once a “Playboy Bunny” like woman to the chapter that had no humanly possible way to read to the one I almost liked until the main character did something […]

A great friend digs the empty grave up with you

Hell Phone Book One by Benji Nate

January 9, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I have read three of Benji Nate’s work and have three to go (one is due in May 2023, so just two current). And each one is more bizarre and kookier than the last. Yet, I keep reading. Maybe it is like a car wreck, you do not want to know, but you must know, too. You cannot look away. And Hell Phone Book One is no different. However, this time it does flow a bit more logically and has a base to it that […]

Here Kitty Kitty….. whoa!

Catboy by Benji Nate

March 25, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

This is one screwed up book. I think I liked it. Maybe. Maybe not. Yes, I liked it. Maybe. When Henry the pet cat turns human like, the adventures he has with his human are odd, weird, and fun. Okay, so he likes to eat birds, sit in boxes, and does not want to go to work (then again, who does?). But he is a best pal with the best of the best pal bunch. Olivia and Henry just go day to day in Catboy […]

Little healthy murder

Lorna by Benji Nate

March 18, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

If Wednesday Addams, Daria and Emily the Strange got together they might make Lorna. Only Lorna is more psychotic. To say that Benji Nate created a graphic novel with mature themes and dark humor is an understatement. First and foremost, there is violence. And while it is not “out in the open” (though obvious) there might be issues for the reader and there are triggers so you have been warned. Lorna likes daggers/knives. No, she loves them. Her hobby is threatening boys with them. She […]
