Azarath Metrion Zinthos – Teen Titans: Raven Review
OK, this is going to be less of a review and more of a brief love letter! I adored this graphic novel! There are no words! I have the softest spot for the character of Raven and I’m super protective of her, but all my worries melted away within a few pages of Teen Titans:…
Sweet and Emotional – Pilu of the Woods Review
In its simplest form, Pilu of the Woods is a beautiful and heart-warming story about facing your emotions before they get the better of you. It’s aimed at middle-grade aged readers but it’s easily accessible for people of any age due to the message and artwork used. Pilu of the Woods is a light fantasy graphic novel centred on a…

Yay, Magic! Injustice: Gods Among Us: Year Three review
Tom Taylor is back for Injustice: Gods Among Us: Year Three and has knocked it out of the park again – well, at least for the first two thirds of the story, as a different writer takes over for the final third. So, picking up from where Year Two left off, the war with the…
Infinity War levels of character numbers! Injustice: Gods Among Us: Year Two review
As you might know, I’m a massive fan of the Injustice universe. I really enjoyed the video game and the first volume of the graphic novel was no let down either! So naturally I was going to continue the series! The second installment was every bit as good as the first and the plot thickens in…
Batman vs Superman DONE RIGHT! Injustice: Gods Among Us: Year One review
Injustice: Gods Among Us: Year One was a tie in graphic novel with the video game of the same name. The game was made by the same guys who brought the world Mortal Kombat and I absolutely love Mortal Kombat – always have done. On top of that I’m a DC girl, not Marvel. Now…
