Who remebers the cartoon, Biker Mice from Mars? Funko also is putting the three main mice out in a toy. I might have made a little geek-squeak….. Biker Mice from Mars Vol. 1: Red Planet Panic by Melissa Flores, Daniel Gete
When I told my nephew the zombies were looking for brains and we were safe, he didn’t get it
Plants vs. Zombies Volume 1: Lawnmageddon by Paul Tobin
One day I was with my oldest nephew and I thought I’d take him to the library and pick up a few books to read. I was having trouble getting him to engage (he’s special needs and this was way out of his routine, so it was expected). After I started grabbing a couple titles on a whim (covers do make a difference), we wandered to the checkout desk. It was then I realized that maybe I had missed his interest level (one never knows […]
Dan! Dan! (Santat)! Is the man
Don't Trust Fish by Neil Sharpson
The Day the Books Disappeared by Joanna Ho and Caroline Kusin Pritchard
All the Hulk Feels by Dan Santat
I like the illustrator Dan Santat. While I like the colors, the silliness and the medium to busy details, I have never been sure exactly what draws me. The nice thing is, there are a lot of titles (some he is the author as well of), to explore to figure it out. And there are three new/recent ones that you should try out to see if you can help explain it to me. First, there is Don’t Trust Fish by Neil Sharpson. It is a […]
My comfort read
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Season 10, Vol. 2 by Jeremy Whitley
As a reader, especially one that specializes in children’s and young adult reads, I like to think I mix my genres up, or at least my subjects. I know I have been on a graphic novel kick for several years now, but they come in all shapes and sizes and subjects so I can find almost anything I am in the mood for. And ages ago I found a My Little Pony (contemporary) collection of several stories. It was My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic […]
Say hello to the night, Lost in the shadows
The Lost Boys (Comic) by Tim Seeley (writer), Scott Godlewski (artist)
I don’t recall what I was looking for on the library website when I stumbled across The Lost Boys comic, but I hit hold super fast. After the 1987 movie, there were two straight-to-DVD sequels, and a comic series (Lost Boys: Reign of Frogs) but this comic is a direct sequel to the original film. And this comic reads and feels like a sequel to a 1987 movie in both good and bad ways. So yes, the rest of this review will have some mild […]
Transformers: “Transform and Roll Out!”
Transformers: Worst Bot Ever: Meet Ballpoint by Brian "Smitty" Smith
I read Transformers: Worst Bot Ever: Meet Ballpoint via an online reader copy. And to be honest, I am glad I did. I am a fan of the old Transformer cartoon of the 1980s. I never got into the other shows or movies, but an occasional story/graphic novel is not off the table. But I know that my nephew is a fan and I am always looking for something that is not only appealing to him, but not too kid-like or too mature. Brian “Smitty” […]
