I Hate Fairyland #1 | 
Growing up, I never got into comics. Even now, I can‘t follow ones with complicated panels like most of the Marvel or DC comics. I Hate Fairyland is one of the first comics I ever read and I‘m absolutely hooked on it, but I still don‘t go into comic book stores. I feel out of place because I read two or three series and that‘s it. Fortunately, Skottie is giving away copies of his Free Comic Book Day IHF with each order of a creator owned book 😍
It‘s no secret I‘m a huge fan of Skottie Young‘s work & I Hate Fairyland, his first creator owned comic remains a favorite. In this latest run Skottie is writing with Brett Bean illustrating. I‘m beyond thrilled to get my hands on the original art for page one of Issue #1. Love, love, love the characters‘ excitement as they settle in for a bedtime story knowing, as we do, that Gert & more mischief & mayhem are likely just a page turn away. 😍
pickDay 1 of #LetsGetGraphic was great! I read all 26 issues of I Hate Fairyland. Hilarious, with dark humour and bright candy coloured pages. I adored it! 💖💜💙❤️
Calling all fans of Skottie Young and the ever fluffing fantastic Gert—there‘s a new Untold Tale out today and it‘s a good one. Todays‘s story is brought to us by the Bully Wars team and yeah, Skottie‘s writing had me laughing out loud and Aaron‘s kinetic art was perfect for a battle royal between Gert and Bruud the Brutal. Head on over to Skottie‘s newsletter on Substack if you want to know what they are fighting over. So. Much. Fun. 😍
I‘m loving all the variants for IHF Vol. 2, #1 and was super lucky to grab this one—like, unbelievably lucky—because they sold out in 12 minutes. Sunday morning package delivery for the win! Its a very, very cool wraparound cover and I absolutely love it.
Gert is back in stores and also on Skottie‘s Substack where he‘s turned the reigns over to other writers and artists. If you‘re a fan and haven‘t already, I highly recommend taking a look. These shorts are awesome and it‘s super fun seeing other creators‘ takes on the ever fluffin fantastic Gert. Best of all? They‘re free to read! Latest installment came out today—it‘s a riff on Mad Max: Fury Road and pure Gert perfection!
She‘s back!!! Epic #NCBD with the return of Gert in all her fluffin‘ glory. Shout out to my comics store which made sure I got my hands on most of the non-exclusive variants available today. (Did I spend my afternoon chasing exclusive variant covers? Yeah, I did.) Gert hated Fairyland but she‘s not really loving the real world either. So really, there‘s only one thing to do—she has to go back. I can‘t wait to see what Skottie has in store for us!
pickGERT 👏🏻 IS 👏🏻 BACK! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
My first and favorite comic series is back with an all new storyline and it‘s going to be epic. Bright, colorful, and oh so wrong. This is not for the faint of heart. It is delightfully gruesome. Enter at your own risk. Be prepared to replace swear words with Gert-isms in your everyday life.
pickWow... what a crazy graphic novel. First off, the graphics were drawn very well (beetlejuice anyone?). Second, this is a very bloody gory comic. Warning not for the faint of heart. Third the story is awesome! A girl falls into fairyland and needs to find a key to get her back home. 27 years later she still looks like a girl but she is not by all means. Great book.
Here is a list of my go-to recommendations for #GraphicNovels ♥️ Have you guys read any of these? Do you have any favourites on here? Or any that you can‘t believe I missed? Let me know down below! 😉

pick8 year old Gertrude gets sucked into fairy land all she has to do is go on a journey with her guide to find the key to send her home.
27 years later she is a 30 something in an 8 year old body and she is still searching.
This is brilliant. The artwork is fantastic. The story is genius.
Gertrude is hilarious she has lost the will to live so she is just tearing shit up. Loved it!

Decided to give Amazon's comic book subscription service a try. Free for the first 30 days so we'll see if it's worth keeping.
Second stop was a gold mine. I really like how he had it set up. He had about 4 out for people to grab (mostly kids or what I got from my other stop) but as you talked to him he pulled more out. My guy bought a dr. Who figure so the guys gave me two more including his last Zelda. Score. ! #freecomicbookday
Omg this is so funny! And not for children. 😂
pickI think I might be slightly obsessed with the artwork in this comic book. It's so vivid, detailed, and interesting. Definitely going to continue on with these.
I'm just.... so interested in the super bowl.
Not. 😂😂😂 Snacking and reading.
Sinking my teeth into one of my *sweet* reads from # Christmas #MerryLitsmas lol #ReadHarder2016
pickLoved this so much. My first comic. Snarky as ever and I love it.
As someone with a another sun cycle coming up Inwish this was true.
I promised myself I wouldn't buy anymore books this year...oops😧📚
pickFun! The story is about a middle aged woman trapped inside a child's body also trapped in fairyland who reluctantly travels through fairyland killing creatures while trying to get home. The story is good, the illustrations are amazing! Love it. Muffin fluffer is a phrase I will appropriate.
In the background, my poor pupper passed out after a visit to the vet.
I read 3/5 of my Nov. TBR list plus one that wasn't included. 4 total but it was a CRAZY month so I'm not too upset! I hate fairyland was absolutely my favorite! Can not wait to read more!! 😍😍 #readinnov
