I missed this tradition of every year waiting for a new Harry Potter book and getting them for christmas or near christmas (because that's when they would come out in Brazil) and reading them during my vacation time. It was a nice tradition and I can't wait to get back to it with the new illustrated editions

I need to start the Saga series, I have never owned/read a graphic novel so this would definitely be a good one to start on as I love sci-fi!

Ah I didn't know that they came out with illustrated versions of HP!! I'm going to grab it today hahaha

I said I wouldnt buy the illustrated edition if HP right away, but when I saw it in a shop and had a little flick through I knew I couldn't leave without it. You're so right, Jim Kay has done an outstanding job on the illustrations! Even though he has adhered to J.K. Rowling's writing, he has out his own spin and interpretation in to the images. I just wish we didn't have to wait years to collect the entire series!

I absolutely love comics and graphic novels! Have you tried Hellboy yet? It's technically horror, but it's horror in a Lovecraftian sort of way rather than gore. Mignola has the most interesting illustrations, lots of shadows and no overuse of text. He mixes in A LOT of folklore and myth into his work. It's just fantastic!

Space Dumplins is SUPER CUTE. I read it in a day. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Those Olympians graphic novels look ace! You might also like the Wonder Woman New 52 arc by Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chang, as that involved a lot of Greek God family tree shenanigans, and some creative re-imaginings of how some of them looked. Hades was brilliant!

@JeansThoughts 8 жыл бұрын

+topdogoldchap Ah yes! I have meant to check out the new Wonder Woman, thanks for the reminder ^_^.

@topdogoldchap 8 жыл бұрын

:) Hope you like it! Personally I found the artwork in that arc a lot more accomplished than the story, but there's a lot to like on both fronts I think. Chang uses inspiration from Greek art styles, like the line work in Diana's hair. Her hair is awesome. :)

Have you seen the just published pricey deluxe ed. of HP book I PS? Product plus plus plus. All 7 deluxe ed. books'll put someone back >$1000 US and together would be superheavy.

I know that this is probably a silly question Jean, because it seems like everyone has read them, but have you ever read the Percy Jackson books by Rick Riordan, and do you think that they're good? I'm looking for a new series. By the way, I love your content. :)

+Kristen M I haven't actually haha, which surprises people. I know it has mythology in it but it does't really sound like my cup of tea :( thank you though!

If you liked Wytches you should check out Nailbiters. Not as horror based, but just as creepy if not more.

unfortunately, i found wytches to be boring and not a fan of the art. i was flipping through the pages. i just donated it to my work place library. now saga is on a whole different level.its the best out there
