The Walking Dead, Vol. 3: Safety Behind Bars by Robert Kirkman

3 stars Very chaotic all-over-the-place storyline. A little difficult to follow with all the time jumps and back-and-forth scenes, but definitely a good read. This volume made me hate Lori even more than I did watching the show, but there was enough appeal in the rest of the characters to keep me engaged. Definitely want…

Blue Monday Volume 1: The Kids are Alright by Chynna Clugston Flores

1 star Garbage. Complete garbage.After reading the Hopeless Savages Volume 1 series, I figured I’d give more of Clugston’s work a try. And oh my gosh was that a mistake. The artwork was fine when not depicting teenage girls in their undergarments or wearing shirts that show off their balloon-breasts. But the dialog and the…

The Riddle Box by G. Derek Adams

3 stars I received this book from Goodreads in exchange for an honest review. This was a very interesting book. This is the first of the series that I have read, but from what I can tell it is not absolutely necessary th read the first book (although based on this one I would like…

The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks by Max Brooks

4 stars So for anyone who didn’t know, there is no new material in this graphic novel that is not in The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead in Recorded Attacks. Apparently that is a huge misconception. Basically all this book does is illustrate some of the more interesting attacks stories already…

Batgirl, Vol. 1: The Darkest Reflection by Gail Simone

5 stars Awesome!I love this reboot. While there are still a few “male gaze” positions Batgirl is drawn in, her costume is much improved. I really liked her hilarious commentary, especially during fight scenes. She has some uncertainty in herself, but she’s smart and still manages to figures things out. There is such a realistic…

Runaways: Pride and Joy by Brian K. Vaughan

5 stars Such a great idea for a graphic novel. Original and fun. I really enjoyed this one. Great storyline. Cool artwork. Developed characters (although slightly stereotypical). This is such a great book. I read the whole thing in one sitting, because I just could not put it down. I can’t wait to read volume…

The Lightning Thief: The Graphic Novel by Robert Venditti

2 stars As far as graphic novels go, this one was okay. I liked that different events were included from the book that did not make an appearance in the movie, but plenty of things were still left out (Medusa, Waterland, final scene between Luke and Percy).The artwork was alright. At times it was difficult…

The Girl in the Clockwork Collar by Kady Cross

3 stars Despite the silly love triangles, which do get a little irradiating at times, I still really love this book series. Having read the third book of the series first, The Girl with the Iron Touch, I think I’ve just ignored the on-again-off-again flirtations between all the characters, because by the third book everyone…

The Strange Case of Finley Jayne by Kady Cross

4 stars This is a fantastic prequel! While I love this series and the novels are quick-paced and action-packed, this short story flowed a little better than the novels because it solely focused on Finley’s character whereas the novels constantly jump between characters. This prequel is just as action-packed, just in a smaller package. This…
