Jonathan York has led a blah life; he's the perpetual goody two-shoes, he follows the rules and never veers off the track. When he decides to take a shortcut home one day and gets lots in the mysterious and spooky woods, he's suddenly thrown into a world of adventure. As the story progresses Jonathan goes from a shy introvert into a daring, risk taking extrovert.
This was an interesting story that captures the imagination. The art is also very wonderful; very spooky, just perfect for this October.
This is the first book I read by Kory Merritt and I will say that I am very much impressed and can't wait to see other works.

It's dark, it's gory, it's sickening good. In this new story by the super talented team of Justin Jordan and Kyle Strahm we are introduced to No, Holly, and Hope in a post-apocalyptic world.
When a mysterious and gorily beautiful virus referred to as the spread that kills everything. No is a man immune to the virus with very little to say; when he encounters a baby that turn out to be able to kill the spread with bodily fluids (I did say gory), he's hmm this could work. Later No and the baby that is later referred to as Hope (yeah, she is a special baby) meet Holly a woman that is captured by slavers and a little crazy (tragic backstory hinted at). Obviously the spread wants to kill the baby and what is left of civilization is shit so yeah things get pretty crazy.
The story is told from Hope's point of view, reflecting on the past. This is a definitely must checkout series. I will say that the art alone makes it a must. Plus the characters are really interesting, especially No, who seems to only ever say no, no, no.

This is the second book in this series that I read and just like the first I was thoroughly impressed.
I first received Volume 30 and although I lagged it on the reading once I started I got hooked, so when Netgalley had Volume 31 available I was like "definitely getting this one" and I must say I was again impressed.
You get great short stories and amazing art that really has you wishing you were in it. The stories like always keep your imagination revved up and flipping to the next page; it's a hard book to put down.

Talk about a great book, in this volume you get short stories by various up and coming authors. This was the first time I've ever reviewed any from this collection.
I enjoyed some stories more than other, but they really kept me captivated and hooked. This is great for fans of the sci-fi (not syfy) and fantasy genre. What's best is you get a lot of adventures and not just one.

This book was fun, it gives you a step by step of how to draw all your favorite DC superheroes. The book is easy to follow and understand. Even though my attempted drawings won't be ending up on the fridge anytime soon, I still had fun with this one.
The book doesn't just cover heroes, it also cover drawing villains, the Fortress of Solitude, the Batmobile and the Batplane [favorite right here]. Aside from drawing the heroes, there are also small bios on the heroes and villains.
This book is great for kids, it gives them something fun and creative to do and with very little mess, so parents will love that.
