The two come…

4 stars A fantastic collection of comics. I’ve loved reading The Pigeon Gazette on Webtoons and was thrilled when Jane Zei came out with a book. This collection did not disappoint. So much humor, cringe, relatable situations, and spite. From flirting fails and introvert problems to sibling shenanigans and the struggles of adulting, this collection…

4 stars Another fun Hilda tie-in. While I’d love this series to go more in-depth into the world we see in the show and the original comic, these books are not set up that way. Instead they combine episodes, creatively incorporating the plots together to make one continuous story. That isn’t necessarily bad; it’s just…

4 stars A fun mashup that takes influence from Luke Pearson’s graphic novels, the Netflix adaptation, and a few changes of its own. The second book in the series covers episodes 3, 5, and 7 of the show. It was interesting to see how Davies combined the plots of these three episodes to create their…

4 stars What a fantastic read! Great for young readers (10 and up) to learn about Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the justice system, and the fight for equality. This book does a great job of piecing together important details of Ginsburg’s life and showing how they influenced her later on. Throughout the book, Levy works in…

4 stars Bubblegum and Marceline are two of my favorite characters from the show. So when I saw there was a graphic novel about pirates stealing something from Princess Bubblegum’s chamber and her asking Marceline to retrieve it, I was all in. Some of the books in the Adventure Time comics/graphic novel universe are hit…

4 stars While I enjoyed the simplicity of the original, the newer addition is even more fantastic and engaging. Really enjoyed the new introduction materials and additional beasts. Hailing from Wisconsin, I especially appreciated the Hodag being included (though I’m from southern Wisconsin so the Beast of Bray Road is my go-to cryptid). The fact…

4 stars After reading this, I already want to spend another summer at Camp Whatever. Complete with mysterious fog, horrific garden gnomes, a camp director with ulterior motives, shadowy figures, and odd happenings, this book has got it all. It’s packed with adventure, mystery, magic, and suspense. There are plenty of twists and turns in…

In this one, the campers compete for a chance to go into space with the evil astronaut Neil Strongarm. But as with most competitions at Evil Scientist Summer Camp, there’s more to it than first meets the eye. A great…
