The Baker and the Bard by Fern Haught
I love a good cozy fantasy as much as the next person. I ate up The Tea Dragon Society a few years ago and a few indie cozy fantasy novels in 2023. I’d had my nose to the ground for the perfect cozy fantasy graphic novel, though, because the combination just made sense to me.… Continue reading

Mary Tyler MooreHawk by Dave Baker
Like so many of my favorite books, Mary Tyler MooreHawk is near-impossible to categorize. Part dystopian literary fiction, part biographical magazine, and part nine-panel comic, Mary Tyler MooreHawk refuses to settle for just one genre. Dave Baker has succeeded in creating a multimedia masterpiece that has a lot to say about art, the pursuit of… Continue reading

Graphic Novel Review – Watson and Holmes: A Scandal in Harlem
I saw the cover of Watson and Holmes: A Scandal in Harlem and immediately wanted to read it. I am perpetually obsessed with almost every reimagining of Sherlock Holmes I find. And the fact Watson and Holmes is both noir and has black protagonists? I was so excited going into this. Continue reading

Giantess by Jean-Christophe Deveney
Giantess is a story that seeps into your soul. Translated from the original French, Giantess centers on the life and adventures of Celeste, a giantess in a world of people who have never seen giants; in many ways, it is the ultimate fantasy bildungsroman. Giantess is lovely, gentle, and unapologetically feminist. More than anything, it… Continue reading

Graphic Novel Review: XINO by Phil Hester, Melissa Flores, Alex Segura, and more
I’m always looking for weird fiction anthologies, so I was thrilled to find this speculative and weird fiction graphic novel anthology. When a book is described as “an intra-ocular lozenge of subversive, surrealist science fiction,” you better believe I’m going to be interested. XINO comes from Oni Press, a publisher I trust, so I had… Continue reading

Populated with creatures that are not quite human, Coral’s Reef is a fantastical delight. If you love high school tales, full-color mangas, and stories of sweet friendships, then this manga is perfect for you. Continue reading

The Dyatlov Pass Mystery by Cédric Mayen and Jandro González
I’ve been fascinated by the Dyatlov Pass incident for quite some time. On February 1st or 2nd, 1959, a group of nine experienced hikers died under uncertain and ultimately unexplained circumstances. The hikers cut open their tent, went out in the snowy sub-zero terrain underdressed, split into three smaller groups, and all perished. The hikers… Continue reading

A Gift for a Ghost by Borja Gonzalez
To say I was excited for A Gift for a Ghost would be an understatement. This graphic novel is pitched as a story with time travel, ghosts, black holes, and an all-girl punk band, and I am completely here for all those things. I was so excited to read it that it actually made my… Continue reading
