Everyone thinks Bruce Banner is dead. But he‘s not. He‘s just wandering around the US waiting for nightfall when ‘the other guy‘ emerges. This ‘reboot‘ is great! It takes the book back to its gothic horror roots, establishing a Jekyll / Hyde dynamic (and a bit of vampiric flavor in that ‘he only comes out at night). That Hulk is also crafty and devious, makes this story interesting. Oh, and he‘s also immortal! Worth checking out!

A story that epitomizes complicated parent/child relationships. The illustrations made this graphic memoir work for me, otherwise it would have been just okay. (Not a huge fan of memoir.)

Throughout I really wanted the perspectives of the other family members to compare it with Alison‘s. Alas, that‘s not going to happen. 😏

How could I resist this new edition of Wolf's Rain? The Perfect Edition collects both manga volumes and has some tiny extras. It's also a new translation.

I watched the anime and read the mangas when I was a teen and loved it dearly. As a grown I can say that two volumes are not enough for this story to be fully told. I wish there was more. Still, I loved being reunited with those wolves again and also saw some aspects that are still current.

A steamboat captain saves an injured mermaid, but her situation isn't as innocent as it seems, and the boat's owner's promiscuity is hiding a complex secret.
What a wasted set-up!
Aside from this beautiful imprint under the dust jacket, I didn't like much about this book. The art was mostly bad, the main character looked like a muppet, and the story kinda sucked until around Page 300, but then it totally flubbed the ending. Very disappointing.

TieDyeDude Sorry to ruin the cover, but I had to show you the main character. Seriously, how do you settle on that design? And yes, he looks just like that 75% of his panels. No one else looks like a muppet, BTW. The book was also way too horny for my liking. 1d
Clare-Dragonfly The art style reminds me of Over the Garden Wall. But if no one else looks like that… 🤨 21h
lauraisntwilder My husband read this a long time ago and I remember thinking the cover was gorgeous. It has such a great set up! I love the idea of a freshwater mermaid. But I never bothered to read it. I guess if he'd thought it was good, he'd have suggested I read it, too? 20h
TieDyeDude @Clare-Dragonfly Maybe I would have been more forgiving if I thought of Wirt 😋 14h
TieDyeDude @lauraisntwilder There were some really interesting aspects of the mythology, it just didn't come together well, IMO. 14h

I adore this book! The art struck me immediately and was what got me to check it out. A group of friends has a curious mission to fulfill, that involves the mysterious destination of the moon lanterns dropped into the river each year on the Autumn Equinox. This graphic novel is full of stunning illustrations—I found myself taking pictures of several pages. There is humor and a lot of science, but this book is all about friendship, discovery,⬇️

Bookwormjillk I read this every year at the Autumn Equinox 2d
JenniferEgnor the ways in which we navigate grief, and the sense of self. I think my favorite scene was the glowworms in the star farm cave. This book really allows your imagination to soar, and though it is written for young readers, it is a story all ages can enjoy. There is supposed to be a screen adaptation, with Peter Dinklage as the voice of the talking bear…I can‘t wait! 2d
JenniferEgnor @Bookwormjillk excellent tradition 💙 2d
