pickThrowback, pulpy fun! Stevens creates a exciting hero who's also a bit of a scumbag, but his adventures are page turners. Stevens wrote and illustrated the two storylines collected here. He was known for his mix of realism and a stylized ideal, bold colors, and detailed line work. His obvious admiration of Bettie Page led to them becoming real-life friends. The film adaptation is wonderfully faithful to the book and a childhood favorite of mine.
pickPhenomenal artwork. Classic ronin style plot, loss and survivor‘s guilt. The war between the Foot Clan and the Hamato Clan—the grandson of the Shredder and Michelangelo—comes down to a climatic battle; a summation of the brutality of war, where there is no winner, and everyone loses something. Eastman & Laird outdid themselves with this epic run.
pickA very (haha) relatable middle school story with friend tension, tricky subjects, and finding your way in the world. Loved that many tropes didn‘t follow the usual molds (nice popular kids, friendship drama that was resolved in healthy ways, and no easy resolution) and found myself rooting for all the kids!
pick3/5 - soft pick
Really liked the illustration style of this graphic novel. Numerous themes are present: mental illness, alcoholism, fantasy vs reality, friendship, love, etc. Two narrators, the creator of the movie, and one of the actress in this small, amateur production. We follow how this movie is made, the tensions between several characters.
Interesting read, destabilizing at times.
bailedI love D20, so I wanted to read the source material for Starstruck Odyssey. Friends, I just can‘t get into it. It‘s very 80‘s and 90‘s comics and that‘s not my jam. I‘ve tried twice. I couldn‘t force myself even on a plane. #noteverybookusforeverybody #dnf #bookspinbingo

Depressing but beautiful. I love the outsized cat Nemo and the people vs buildings. The architecture was stunning too.
No idea why my copy was sideways but it enabled me to see the whole spread across both pages. Maybe that was the point? It made the text very small though and made reading difficult.
Low pick. Trigger warnings for terminal illness and animal death.
🤔 why is it sideways??? 🧐
pickThis volume's really cute too! It gets a bit cringe at times how Riko puts everything in terms of games regardless of audience... but it's mostly fun.
