I bought this volume years ago at a comic convention. It lived in my TBR pile until recently when I learned that it was adapted into an anime series. And I think it really cool since it‘s done by a US artist, kickstarted into manga publication, and then made into anime in Japan 👍🏼 So awesome!!
Anyways, it‘s a rom-com set in gaming culture, woman working in STEM, deals with mental health and internet celebrity-ism.

so-soDespite a terrible premise (a powerful, evil Demi-god birthed from the mind of GL Kyle Rayner from a childhood comic he wrote, threatens Earth), this book is still enjoyable. A big cast of characters, fun sci-fi exploits, and space battles make this tale worthwhile, even if the villain is as generic and stupid as they come. The second story arc is better (A schizophrenic gets hold of a yellow ring of Fear power, causing chaos).
pickI read this graphic novel every Halloween when I‘m waiting for trick or treaters. It has great illustrations and touches on Halloween and other holidays and family issues and grief. But it does it all in a natural and fun way.
Thank you!!! @bumpinthenight I love everything!! Crazy story about the tarot deck… I bought this one awhile ago but ended up with the bootleg one that was the size of playing cards and no guidebook! I was so sad! I‘m so excited that I have the real one now! Thank you again!

pickI'm still not sure what I think about my beloved Archie characters in horror settings, but there were only a couple things with the main gang. Madam Satan was the main character of the anthology, and I would absolutely read more with her. A good balance of scary, goofy, gory, and spooky.
"So, she went from being the child of a village, loved and nurtured by all, to being a child of nothing and no one, with a swiftness that left scars so deep they might never heal."

The book isn't a novelisation of the 2025 movie, but it was released at around the time it was in production, so I've borrowed a film poster image ?
pickThis was a quick read. I enjoyed the book. If these books would have came out when I was a kid, I would have loved them. I rated the book a 4 out of 5 stars.
THE OFFICIAL INEFFABLE GRAPHIC NOVEL IS HERE!!! So many mixed feelings about this, but it is, admittedly, fun to unpack everything.

We're visiting our son in Ely for his birthday, and popping into Toppings for a Christmas present for my great-niece, I made an impulse purchase of the tagged.
It's based on the comics version of the character - sword-and-sorcery in Conan the Cimmerian's Hyborian Age - rather than R. E. Howard's prose version - historical adventure in medieval France - and I'm prepared to allow it a degree of schlock latitude, so anything better than that will ⬇️
