pickAfter a mountaineering accident, Bruce Wayne is nursed back to health by a shaman.
They have discussions afterwards, Wayne learns some secrets of the shaman and take them back to Gotham, where he becomes the Batman.
It is an excellent graphic novel and a perfect follow-up to Year One.
Beautifully illustrated, and a cool storyline.
pickRoddy McDowall provides excellent narration of the novelization of the 1989 Batman movie. Fans of the animated series will know him as the voice of the Mad Hatter, and you can just tell he is having a blast when he gets to cut loose with the Joker scenes! The novelization is fine; a few scenes omitted, not much added. Definitely worth a listen in audio, though.
This was cute, but I'm not surprised there was never a follow-up. (I'd probably read it if there was, though.) The characters are such YA cliches, not what I expect from Novik!
The art style took a little getting used to. I don't know the correct way to categorize it, but sometime the characters are gorgeously stylized, and then they're drawn much younger to express their emotions. It's effective, but also a bit creepy.
pick3 ⭐ This book is about a fire hydrant who thinks they‘re worth more than being peed on every day. They consider themselves a toilet. The illustrations are what really makes this book move. The words are a fire hydrant feeling like they‘re different and they deserve more than to be a dog toilet, but the illustration show that this fire hydrant is going to be used for what it was designed for in just a few more pages.
Back home after my Christmas travels. April is very happy I‘m back, and I‘m enjoying the snuggles 🥰 #CatsofLitsy
