I received this book from my brother in law this past Christmas, as he knew I liked graphic novels and is always willing to take a stab in the dark. I had actually already seen this book, although not read, as my son had already borrowed it from the library. He had been trying to get me to read it, and we ran out of time, so was very happy to have it cross my lap again. The Mouse Guard is a unit of mice […]
Half Angels vs. Half Angels (With Pictures)
Full disclosure: I’m a member of the Christian Comics Arts Society, which is a “network of Christian fellowship for comics fans, pros, and amateurs”. Another member wrote this book and provided me with a free copy in exchange for a fair and honest public review. As an aside, members write biblically or theologically themed comics and also secular comics that may or may not have anything to do with theology or certain worldviews. I wanted to enjoy Nephilites because the concept is interesting and recently popped […]
How Jane and a Fox ease the pain of cruelty
The Chancellor read a comics compilation this Cannonball read, and he recommended Fanny Britt’s Jane, the Fox, and Me. I was highly intrigued–I like Jane Eyre, and I LOVE foxes. So I was excited to see what this was all about. I was not prepared to work out my tear ducts. Hélène is a bullied young teenager in Quebec. She used to be friends with the popular girls in school, but now they gawk and giggle when she walks by, and they write terrible things […]

Rat Queens; A Glorious Perversion of a Book
Holy gorram gosh-darnit. Oh boy. This was glorious. Heavenly, sexy, badass, emotional glory. Kick-ass and smart and I’m gonna use the word sexy again, like designers use it in that annoying way to objectify an already object existing as an object. Rat Queens is good. Admittedly, I did not think Rat Queens was something I would enjoy – it was only after a trusted recommendation that I gave it a second look. Even then the title “Sass and Sorcery” seemed crude and try-hard. Furthermore a […]
The twist is that the vampire is NOT the merciless serial killer
2.5 stars Ah, the joys of reviewing something you read in about an hour about two weeks ago and that didn’t make that much of an impact. I’m sorry, but I have to once again resort to the lazy/forgetful reviewer’s trick of using the Goodreads summary: One’s a natural-born killer – a remorseless hunter gleefully prowling the night for victims to quench an unnatural blood lust. The other’s a vampire. His centuries of existence have left him world weary and detached, until one day his […]
