Review:I read this nearly a year ago back in January and it still left a strong impression on my mind. I can only compare to this to George Orwell’s 1984. It is a 1984 with a superhero, if V could be called that. Originally written in the 1980s it is a story about a future England in 1997 and 1998 in which the government has become tyrannical and authoritarian with a sole dictator on top who is obsessed with his computer dictating to him things by chance. As powerful and smart as those within gover... Read more

Review:Well I bought it so I could find out what the movie would be about. I haven't finished it yet because it is so long. The story seems pretty good so far and the pictures are very expertly drawn. Can't wait for the movie to come out. Read more

Review:A deceptively simple graphic novel by Gene Luen Yang, American Born Chinese is a triptych of stories, all of which revolve around the idea of assimilation. One is about a Chinese-American student struggling to fit in to a predominantly white school; one is about an "all-American" kind of kid who's mortified by the behavior of his Chinese cousin, who's almost literally a walking ethnic caricature; and the third is about the Monkey King and his struggle to be accepted by all of the other gods. Tha... Read more

Review:Since this is the second volume of this ongoing comic series, I knew more of what to expect. But just as the first volume did, this volume started out in a very interesting place and then just meandered along with the story. I have definitely found that I like event miniseries more than just this continuing story. Hopefully that means I'll love Vader Down, which is a crossover event with the other ongoing series, Star Wars.

This volume begins with Darth Vader at the remains of the Lars ho... Read more

Review:Shattered Empire is a series of loosely connected tales focusing on varying characters from the Original Trilogy era and beyond (including Poe's parents). Great writing, beautiful art, and meaningful tales make this well worth picking up... for both hardcore fans and newcomers alike. I can't say much about the stories as it's quite easy to spoil the experience, but I will say that you will see Leia connect with her mother on a small scale, see Luke in action as a Jedi Knight, meet Poe Dameron's...

Review:While the cover did catch my interest enough to give this a shot, watching the eponymous character repeatedly sexually assault random downtrodden women quickly drove me away. Though this felt like no great loss, as the constant stream of innuendo, which would not have seemed out of place in a high school boys locker room, and a completely uninteresting story made this a very easy book to put down.

Review:This book is beautiful, captivating, heartbreaking, mystifying, and even educational. You are immersed in pen drawn pages contrasting monsters that hurt us and the monsters we can aspire to be. Young Karen tries to solve the mysterious death of a neighbor as other mysteries and real life horrors pile up on her. She sketches the covers of her horror comic books, famous works of art, and her encounters with the incredible personalities of Chicago. It is both painful and beautiful. You will want th...

Review:If you love Deadpool, you will love this! It is a what if? scenario. Short, but sweet. I would defo consider it leaning towards horror. So, perhaps read it first if you want to give it to your tween or teenager to see if you think it's appropriate for them. Adults however, should thoroughly enjoy it, as I did! Read more

Review:Shipping Was Swift & The Book itself is extremely interesting, while reading it you get a sense of ' OMG this was written over 300 years ago & Here I am reading this. Great insight By Miyamoto Musashi Very Insightful & Mind Opening. Read more

Review:I found El Deafo to be charming and sincere and affecting where appropriate. It tells the story of a young girl who loses her hearing and who learns to navigate elementary school as a bit of an outsider. Some classmates regard her as a freak, some over-compensate, but her worst enemy is her own insecurity. Gradually she overcomes.

What's best about this book is that the deafness, while integral to Cece (the author and main character)'s experience, it is not the subject of the book. Worryi... Read more
