Welcome to Litsy!

There's only one word that comes to mind about how I can best describe this comic series (the first Marvel Zombies): CHAOS. It's pure chaos. It's not great, it's not amazing....it's just....chaos lol

This was a really fun middle grade graphic novel. The story was adventurous and heartwarming, with a great cast of characters. The images were gorgeous, such cozy and warm colors, detailing a beautiful setting I wanted to step into and visit. Would definitely recommend if you want a quick and sweet fantasy family of sorcerers and ghosts to fall for

Uzumaki means spiral in Japanese, and Junji Ito is incredibly creative to find so many different ways to make a simple spiral so horrifying. Each chapter introduces a new method for the spiral to terrorize this small town on the coast of Japan. The story kept my interest and the art was captivating. I usually read manga/graphic novels fairly quickly, but I was mesmerized and carefully analyzed every stroke of Ito‘s pen. I really enjoyed this one.

Takei details his family's internment powerfully. Seeing this history through a child's eyes, the reader feels the depth of fear and uncertainty. There were panels here depicting Takei's mother that made me weep; watching along as parents do all they can to protect their children in the face of absolute injustice only to be shown that it is never enough. But the force of love, care, and community endures, reverberating through generations.

My signed copy of Gender Queer arrived today, just in time for Banned Book Week! I've read it several times, but put off buying a copy for myself. A few months ago, pre-orders were offered with a portion of proceeds going to Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and Florida Freedom to Read Project. I got a signed deluxe edition and a “Fight Censorship, Read Comics“ pin.

Whenever I'm having a bad book slump, I turn to graphic novels. I love ghosts and thought the cover of the first book was so wholesome. The story drew me in and I found myself caring about what would happen to Marjorie and Wendell. Eliza was a great addition and her story deeply emotional. However, Marjorie felt flat as a character. There was little to show who she was, why she liked Wendell and Eliza, etc. Overall, great story with a mediocre MC.

I liked this okay, but it seems like the movie is really faithful (unsurprisingly) and while this adds more detail, it wasn‘t Earth-shattering. I had some trouble tracking the characters, in and out of armor. I had definite trouble tracking the air battles. Too much action in black and white, crammed into small panels. I did really appreciate the fold-out map!

Marking #bannedbooksweek by sharing my copies of “Maus” and “Maus II” with a coworker who plans to read and discuss them with his 14-year-old daughter.
