4 stars Fantastic collection for readers and writers. This books brings together various comics from Snider previously featured on Incidental Comics as well as in The New Yorker, The New York Times, and other publications. This is a book about the love and frustrations of reading (and by extension, writing). Nice read for fans of Debbie Tung‘s Book Love and other comic…

5 stars SO. WHOLESOME! I absolutely loved this comics collection. A perfect book to have on hand when you need a pick-me-up or a reason to smile. I’ll admit, I’m slightly obsessed with this series. I started reading it on Webtoon and follow Tarpley on all the social media platforms. Whenever a new comic comes…

5 stars Absolutely hilarious! I usually have a poker face when I read but this one had me grinning and, at times, even laughing out loud. Loved Fahmy’s style of humor and the way she pokes fun at various issues to bring them to light (stereotypes, misconceptions, ignorance, lack of representation, microaggressions, racism, etc.). There’s…

4 stars Absolutely hilarious! I’ll admit, I’m not much of a history nerd. I didn’t get all the references, but each comic had its own charm. Most were fun and goofy even if you don’t know the historical inspiration. Beaton brings silliness and dark humor to many historical figures and events. Beaton also includes a…

2 stars I’ve come to the conclusion this series just isn’t for me. When the Webtoon was getting a lot of hype, I gave it a try. Even a few episodes in, I just couldn’t get into the story. I was hoping it was just the episodic fashion and this would be alleviated in book…

This book has everything from savory dumplings, to sweet dumplings, more traditional flavors and some riffs. I really enjoyed the mix-and-match style of the book. Amano provides the…

3 stars A light-hearted gothic romance between a vampire and a werewolf told in similar slice-of-life style to Andersen’s Sarah’s Scribbles series. Really enjoyed the different art style for this one. It worked very well for the mood and the characters (and it was gorgeous!). This book gives a humorous look at some of the…

4 stars A fantastic collection of comics. I’ve loved reading The Pigeon Gazette on Webtoons and was thrilled when Jane Zei came out with a book. This collection did not disappoint. So much humor, cringe, relatable situations, and spite. From flirting fails and introvert problems to sibling shenanigans and the struggles of adulting, this collection…

5 stars I love reading Tysoe’s comics on Webtoon and Instagram so I was super pumped when I saw she’d put together a book collection. While I would have been perfectly content with a bound collection of her comics, Tysoe blew me away by creating a little frame story about her younger self time traveling…
