I write reviews for books. My favorite genres are sci-fi and fantasy, so if you follow this blog you will see a lot of that. I'm also a huge comic book fan, so that's probably going to bleed through to this blog sooner rather than later.

Crushing is a lovely graphic novel written and illustrated by Sophie Burrows, and I personally feel so lucky to have already had the opportunity to read it. This story hits very close to home for many, and I look forward to seeing how well it does.
Crushing is the story of two people who feel very lonely in life. One is desperately searching for that special someone, while the other is too afraid to look or reach out. Together they go on similar yet very different journeys.

Before I begin my review, let me just start by saying that The Secret Garden has and will always be near and dear to my heart. I fell in love with the movie as a child and then quickly found myself loving the novel all the more.
Naturally, this means that I tend to love all things The Secret Garden, including graphic novel adaptations. So you can imagine my excitement when I saw this one pop up while I was browsing one day. I knew that I had to read it.
I’ll ..read more

I received a copy of The Phantom of the Opera in exchange for a fair and honest review.
No, your eyes are not deceiving you. This is really happening. There’s a graphic novel adaptation of the classic novel, The Phantom of the Opera. Honestly, I almost find it more surprising that it’s taken this long!
As a huge fan of The Phantom of the Opera, I knew that I had to give the graphic novel adaptation a try. Going into it, I obviously knew that some changes would arise, as is the case with any adapt ..read more

I received a copy of Tokyo Ghoul Vol. 1 in exchange for a fair and honest review.
Written by Sui Ishida, and translated by Joe Yamazaki, Tokyo Ghoul is a series that I’ve heard so much about. But it was only recently that I decided to pick up the first volume and give it a try.
Once upon a time, Ken Kaneki was nothing more than a shy student. All he wanted was to hang out with his best friend, and make excuses to sp ..read more

Victor is only seventeen years old, yet he’s already faced so much tragedy in his life. It’s pushed him apart from the rest of the world, and he doesn’t know how to fix it. Or if he even wants to ..read more

Issues: Wonder Woman 46-50, Annual #2
Wonder Woman, Volume 8: Dark Gods follows the events of Dark Nights: Metal, and that means that things have gotten a fair bit darker in the world. How could it not, when every hero and heroine knows exactly what is aiming to break into the world they’ve sworn to protect?
New (and significantly less altruistic) gods keep appearing, and it seems like only Wonder Woman and her newly found brother, Jason, stand a chance at taking them d ..read more

The Old Guard has recently been getting a lot of attention, thanks to the Netflix adaptation that recently came out. I’ll confess that is the reason it caught my attention, and why I saw down to read it. Written by Greg Rucka, and illustrated by Landro Fernandez, this is a graphic comic series that focuses on a small group of (mostly) immortal beings.
Andromache of Scythia, aka Andy, is immortal. Well, mostly immortal. She can take a shot and get bac ..read more

The Shadow Threat (House of El #1) is the tale of Krypton, before everything went so horribly wrong. Written by Claudia Gray (the detail that caught my attention to begin with) and illustrated by Eric Zawadski, this is a fascinating tale that shows a darker side of Krypton.
Zahn is one of the elites on Krypton. He was born into wealth, power, and privilege, and only recently has ..read more

Yay! It’s more Spider-Man and Deadpool – one of my favorite team-ups out there. They’re arguably the quirkiest out there, and their adventures have steadily been getting more outlandish with time. Spider-Man/Deadpool Vol. 7: My Two Dads is no exception to that rule.
Old Man Deadpool and Old Man Spidey have come back together for an adventure like no other. Mainly, that means that there’s going to be a lot of chaos, and more jokes than ever ..read more
