Cute animal characters in an idyllic, small-town setting. The lively art belies the darker underbelly of this sinister series starter. But once you look past the visual whimsy, it's readily apparent that this book has some serious Dexter vibes (if Dexter were a female bear).
A light tone and good diversity of characters. This book is definitely more character driven than most graphic novels, with a story that emphasizes the very human desire to fit in and feel wanted.
A fun graphic novel inspired by Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet. Vibrant supernatural characters abound, as this is a story that revolves around the feud between witches and vampires.
Super cute! I loved this so much. The story and the art were both great. The tone was light, upbeat and playful. The female lead was fierce and very relatable. Some of the stereotypes about men are so spot on and hilarious. Even the romance was adorably sweet.
A gorgeous graphic novel about the joy of discovering nature and the grief of losing a family member. Picture driven, with very little text, but it still tells a thorough and compelling story.
A great adaptation of Mary Shelley's 1818 version of Frankenstein. Like the original book, this rendition is very much about the human condition, with a sprinkling of some classic elements of horror. But unlike the original, this version is much clearer, less convoluted—sparse, but thorough. It did still feel a bit on the long side, but I found it so much more enjoyable a read than the original text (classics are fantastic for education and study, and indeed I still read many, but I seldom find them enjoyable in the same way that I find modern literature). And the illustrations were a great accompaniment to the text.
It's amazing how the mind works. These very simple, benign drawings of earplugs do allude to some rather risque activities.
This was a very good retelling—true to the original story—but with a flavor that speaks to Gaiman's skill as a storyteller. The dark and twisted artwork, by Lorenzo Mattotti, invites closer inspection and lends its own shadowy abstruseness to this childhood classic.
Read this! Read this! Read this! Illuminating and profound. It doesn't matter your age or gender, you will learn something from this wonderfully educational text that discusses gender in all its many forms. Scientific, yet down to earth.
As someone who loves to garden, this book was right up my ally. Diverse characters and LGBTQIA+ representation packed up in a cute and sweet love story.
First and foremost, the art for this is beautiful. I was absolutely captivated by it.
Part fairy tale, part Hell realm. Fully cohesive and captivating. Unlike some graphic novels that are all action with little substance, this graphic novel has a vibrant, fully-developed plot and diverse characters that hooked me in and kept me engaged.
