The Empty
Reviews / October 10, 2015

by Jimmie Robinson The Empty volume 1 was a really interesting graphic novel with beautiful art and a unique and very intriguing world with many strange creatures. The characters felt well developed and despite this being a rather short novel, I got a sense of who the main characters were and what their motivation was. The plot was in a sense to save the world, but it was done in a very unique way and the way the story developed made me unable to stop reading. I was hooked from the first page and couldn’t stop until I had finished it. The art was also great and I think it really showed the world and the creatures in a great way. I want to learn more about this place and these people and I hope there will be more volumes in this series where we get to see more. I can definitely recommend this too everyone who is interested in graphic novels because I truly enjoyed reading this.

Upside Down
Reviews / October 10, 2015

by Jess Smart Smiley When I picked this up I was in the mood for something fast and easy that didn’t require much thought and concentration. And this graphic novel really delivered. It was fun light read filled with humor and with a fun plot. It’s the second novel in a series and I think it’s recommended to read the first one before taking on this, even if it’s definitely not a must. This novel stands well on its own too. Being a very quick and fast novel with little dialog, the art does most of the talking and even if it’s a very simple art it still does the job very well. I can say that I would have wished for the young vampire Harold to have played a little more of a major role in the climax of the plot, he sort of got lost a bit in the end. He started out as a scared boy haunted by nightmares, and I wanted him to do something to really face those fears, but unfortunately I don’t think he did enough considering he was sort of the main character. Still, it didn’t really matter that much when this was…

Django / Zorro
Reviews / October 10, 2015

by Quentin Tarantino, Matt Wagner I got this graphic novel through NetGalley as an e-comic book to read and review. This story picks up years after the end of Django Unchained, and I’m glad to see that Django as a character is as special as I thought he was in Django Unchained. I also think the character development was done very nicely and this was indeed a good graphic novel. I did find the plot to borderline on confusing, but what else could I have anticipated from someone like Tarantino? At times it was a lot of dialogue, which for me made it a bit slow, but that it probably just a personal preference. I like it more when the art does most of the talking in a way. Still, the fonts are placed nicely throughout and even if they were a tad bit hard to read on the computer, I’m sure it would look much better in a physical copy of the novel. I can highly recommend this to anyone who’s a fan of Tarantino and/or Western comics. You can pre-order it at Amazon

Roulette Romance Part 1
Reviews / October 10, 2015

by Anna Lunde Roulette Romance – Beginner’s Luck is the first of a three part series, this also means that this first part is not a complete story. Instead, it is a build up for what is to come. The writing is good and the book is easy to read and the characters are well developed. The main character, Matilda, is somewhat of a tomboy, and her personality makes for a very interesting read. When it comes to the female lead in romance novels, Matilda feels different in a good way, and it makes for an interesting read and I want to know where this story takes her. The story had a nice pace and I never felt bored or tempted to put the book down. There was always something happening that made it interesting and I’m drawn into the plot. This story is told through multiple first-person POVs, and first I thought I might find this distracting, but it ended up being the opposite. It was so much fun to see the events from the other character’s perspective too, and it also gave me a better understanding of who Matilda is. I also think that the author managed to…
