Reading Over Shoulders
Eisner’s huh?
Matthew Brady gives a thorough review of Swallow Me Whole. I’m waiting for it to come in to check it out for myself. I don’t normally go for mental illness books because I usually find them to be, well, almost exploitive. Like using a trick to make a story – see? see? how craaaaaazzzy the character is – that sort of thing but it sounds like Powell treats the subject honestly.
Melinda Beasi reads We Were There and it sounds like a good choice for the Great Graphic Novels for Teens list. (link via MangaBlog)
Ed Sizemore over at Comics Worth Reading had to suffer through two popular TV show adaptations to get these reviews.
Manga Recon offers up Manga Minis! It’s sad when Claymore is gets the best score. And, my god, it’s already up to volume 14? How can there be 14 volumes of stuff to talk about/show in this manga???
Reading Over Shoulders
Did you fill out your bracket?
Matthew Brady takes a break from reading Monster to review Slam Dunk.
Comics Worth Reading has a review of Wolverine: Inside the World of the Living Weapon, or as Johanna calls it “Wolverine: the Bloody Red Book” cause it is certainly red.
I was pleasantly surprised by the Maximum Ride adaptation in Yen Plus and Ester Keller of Good Comics for Kids is also pleased with the whole volume.
Personally, I couldn’t even make it through one volume of Claymore but lucky for you, Rachel Brown made it through 9 volumes and loved it!
Read About Comics reads League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century, 1910. Alan Moore lost me with Black Dossier so I’m not sure I want to even attempt 1910.
