Black Canary: Ignite by Cabot, Meg

June 15, 2019 by cosbrarian Leave a Comment

Black Canary is one of my favorite superheroes, but some might call me a casual fan because really it’s Brandon Fletcher/Annie Wu’s version of Dinah that is my favorite – an undercover punk rock singer fighting aliens and protecting her band. I haven’t read much else besides that version cuz I just like rereading it, ha! So this was the first sort of traditional “origin story” I read for Dinah, and Meg Cabot definitely sticks to the classic tale – daughter of a detective and […]

Where will you be when the world ends? (in a Taco Bell?)(Seems likely!)

Apocalypse Taco by Hale, Nathan

Parents, have you ever thought to yourself, “When will I be able to share my love of bizarre, gory sci-fi horror b-movies with my child?” Has your kid ever picked up David Lubar’s “Campfire Weenies” series and said, “Man, it just ISN’T WEIRD ENOUGH!” Does your tween love Stranger Things but wish it had a lot more “WHAT THE FUCK?” My friends, do I have the book for you! I’m a huge fan of Nathan Hale’s “Nathan Hale’s Hazardous Tales” series, which is a graphic […]

“There could be love.”

The Giver (Graphic Novel) by Lowry, Lois; Russell, P. Craig

May 12, 2019 by cosbrarian Leave a Comment

I read The Giver for my sixth grade language arts class. Sixth grade is apparently the year that our school decided we were ready to be ruined by literature. Between this, Bridge to Terebithia, and Where the Red Fern Grows, I don’t know how I had the will to read anymore. I guess that’s the amazing thing about well-written literature. It rips your heart in two and yet you keep going back for more! If you are one of the few people who haven’t visited this […]

Mera: Tidebreaker by Danielle Paige

April 2, 2019 by J 2 Comments

Mera of Xebel wants more than anything to fight for her throne, but no one seems to be listening. Everyone, including her father, expects her to marry her childhood friend, Larken of the Trench, and let him take over their country’s long-running rebellion against Atlantis. Mera, determined to follow in her mother’s warrior footsteps, hatches a plan to eliminate the heir of Atlantis. But the Atlantean prince turns out to be not who Mera expected to find. I always enjoy Mera when I read Aquaman […]

Heavy Vinyl – not so heavy on plot but still fun!

Heavy Vinyl: Riot on the Radio by Carly Usdin, Nina Vakueva, Irene Flores

March 21, 2019 by cosbrarian Leave a Comment

Heavy Vinyl appears to have gone through some adjustments over its publication. Its title was originally Hi-Fi Fight Club and then for some reason they changed the name of the record store it is set in from Vinyl Mayhem to Vinyl Destination. Both changes are better, but many of the web descriptions of the comics have the old names so that’s confusing. Anyhow, spoiler alert: it’s about a fight-club in a record store! Sort of. I haven’t read or seen Fight Club, but this seems […]

Luke Cage meets noir meets The Diviners meets more please!

She has a new case on the horizon and it’s a grisly one. A mutilated police horse is found […]

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
