Straight from London, it’s: John Constantine!

Constantine: Distorted Illusions by Kami Garcia

September 16, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Constantine: Distorted Illusions by Kami Garcia is exactly what you would expect from Garcia and the character of John Constantine. Her brilliant writing and his arrogant ‘tude fill each page with one (mis)adventure after another. He tries to get the girl, but she won’t be got. She has a secret, he has secrets. His new bandmates and he know they are above it all! After all, they can do magic, and damn the consequences. And consequences are plenty. Isaac Goodhart brings it together with the […]

When life starts because of death

Victor and Nora: A Gotham Love Story by Lauren Myracle

April 26, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I debated on reading Victor and Nora: A Gotham Love Story for one (and yes, frankly shallow) reason: I did not like the cover. However, when I saw that my local library had a copy of Lauren Myracle’s graphic novel I decided to read it as I assumed that if I did not like it, I did not have to finish it. It never occurred to me that this was going to be a “Mr. Fries” story. Or more accurately, the teen who would become […]

The Bat, The Cat and The Woman

Under the Moon: A Catwoman Tale by Lauren Myracle

Batman: Nightwalker by Stuart Moore

Wonder Woman: Warbringer by Louise Simonson

December 21, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I just read that if you act in a DC movie or Marvel movie, you are now part of that franchise and cannot crossover. In fact, you are not even allowed to go to a premier of the other franchise less it confuses fans. Thankfully, as a fan of both franchises (or at least a few characters in each) I can watch whatever or read any graphic novel I want. And I wanted to read some DC graphic novels for the teenage age range. I […]
