Slightly complicated story involving symbiotics, revival of the dead, religion, demons and lots of cats which I read but did not leave much of an impression. The artwork was cartoony but effective. It's reasonable fun but nothing particularly special, more a labour of love for the creator.
Nnewts: Escape from the Lizzarks by Doug TenNapel is another summer reading selection for middle grade readers. This is the first in a series of graphic novels which follow the adventures of Herc, a Nnewt, who is on both a literal and figurative journey of self-discovery. From the beginning, the rea...
This book started off with it being Cam's birthday. His father Mike is the only one providing for the family since Cam's mom died, so the only thing he can afford for a present is a cardboard box.This box seemed to Mike as the worst gift a father could give his child but little did he know it would ...
My second YA graphic novel review of the day. I have been hit by my second horrible bout of sinusitis this winter, and am having a horrible time concentrating on much of anything—fiction, nonfiction, my crochet project, baking, TV, anything. But these two graphic novels were readable. I may dig into...
My 7th grader really enjoys TenNapel's books, and he wants me to read them all too. Fortunately for me, they don't take too long. The artwork in this book is good, as usual. And, as usual, I struggle to follow the story, because everything happens so quickly and the story seems to jump along. I am l...
Giant space eels. A mummified alien. A symbiote. The shroud of Turin. A secret (?) government facility. All in Turlock.I found the symbiote to actually be a really clever and interesting idea. Because why not? Maybe it has been done before, I really am not a fan of hard sci fi. The 7th grader deems ...
Who knew a quick-read YA graphic novel could be such a tear-jerker? My 7th grader found this to be "too sad". And he is right. Great full-color graphics only make it more real and more sad. And no, I normally do not read dog books, because they are too sad!
My 7th grader loves this author. He did not love this book, he wasn't sure he followed the story. Because miners, a metal alien ball, murderous mined robot men, a wanted human man, a prostitute, a sheriff, a shaman, Sasquatch, the Loch Ness Monster, "engines", and a train turned into a giant robot...
Some of these graphic novels are extremely bizarre. Cardboard being of them. Its a clever idea and very well done just not my favorite out there. A father goes out looking for the best birthday gift for his son. He ends up brining him a piece of cardboard. But its a magical cardboard that can be t...
Think Invader Zim meets Gremlins, and you'll have a pretty good handle on this book. The first part comes from the illustrations. They're very stylized, almost cartoon-like in nature. Colors are vivid, lines are heavy, and it gives this whole story an almost weighty feel. What I did like about the...
