To be young and all you need is a cold soda

December 29, 2014 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

My friend insisted that I read this out of print Jordan Crane graphic novel, Col-Dee.  This first person comic is a memory from a hot summer of a boy’s youth. He spends his days hanging out with his friends including a boy named Billy, who is kind of a jerk. We open with Billy chasing the boy and tripping him with glee. But soon the kids are distracted by the arrival of an awesome soda machine. They beg and plead for a free soda, but the delivery […]

Walk this way, so I can stab you in the head.

While I like them both, I prefer the Walking Dead show to the comics.  How about you?

What’s love got to do with it?

December 22, 2014 by Robyn Robotron Leave a Comment

None of those who gave Sleeping Beauty “true love’s kiss” ever stuck around.  You think that’s because it doesn’t mean what we think it does?

A realistic, vivid and quirkily illustrated coming-of-age comic about life at art-school and the uncertainty that goes along with it.

“What do you want to be in ten years?” This is the question posed by a tutor in Jamie Coe’s Art Schooled. This was also one of the first questions posed to my Animation class in one of the first weeks of my degree at a small art school in Surrey. And like my illustrated compatriots, my classmates and I all wildly overestimated what we’d be up to. My (soon to be) housemate was going to write the English Family Guy. Another friend was going […]

I can think of a number of situations when it would be convenient to have a Head key.

November 19, 2014 by Malin 1 Comment

This review may contain spoilers for the first volume in the series, so if you want to remain unspoiled, you may want to proceed carefully. Following a shocking death that dredges up memories of their father’s murder, Kinsey and Taylor are thrown into choppy emotional waters, and turn to their new friend, Zach Wells, little suspecting Zach’s dark secret. Meanwhile, six-year-old Bode Locke tries to puzzle out the secret of the head key, and uncle Duncan is jarred into the past by a disturbingly familiar […]
