Welcome to Litsy!

Volume one was pretty weird. I am not sure I am into the series yet.

I really enjoyed this one 😄 And thank you for the awesome giveaways #clearingtheshelves1

Here are a few of my favorite covers 💕💕 The “Raising Demons” cover makes me laugh every time I see it 😹

Taking it easy this morning (I get Mondays off since I work Saturdays) with comics and coffee in my dog walking mug. Sooner or later, though, the real dog is going to demand one of those... 🐶

Loma Shade is an alien inside a human teen‘s body, but it‘s not working out so well for either of them. Shade finds it exhausting to be human and “Earth is turning out to be bullshit.” This is a wild ride of a story about madness and bullying. The art is psychedelic and the whole thing is just so much fun. #mentalhealth #graphicnovel

“That didn‘t feel good.”

There are some great lines—and great art—in this graphic novel.

Graphic novel synchronicity/serendipity: I just finished one book with a female character on life support, and then I open a book by completely different creators and the very first panel is of a young woman in a coma.

Mega #DeathStare going on here. And the series starts out with a gorgeous first page. 😍

I'm sure I'm not alone in this, but I am a sucker for books that mention other books in them. Especially when it's a book that I've read and enjoyed. I loved The Yellow Wallpaper. 😍

I really loved this one! The story line was fun and easy to get into, but the illustrations and colours are what really made it for me. ❤️️😍❤️️ Once again, a definite recommend. #LetsGetGraphicWeeklongMarathon

Just got home from having a delicious breakfast. Picked up some Tims coffee, and now I'm relaxing in front of the Fire to read this graphic novel. I haven't heard much about it... but I like hippos... ☺️

If you like tank girl girl you should really check this out

Truly phenomenal. In SHADE THE CHANGING GIRL, Cecil Castellucci is telling a formally daring, gorgeous story about female adolescence, bullying, & art. She's helped along by Marley Zarcone & Kelly Fitzpatrick's trippy, audacious visual sensibilities. The SHADE team have created an experience that you can sink into, with strong characters and a poignant story about coming to terms with your worst self and finding a way to move beyond it. Must read.

A friend described this as what doing acid and being high must feel like. I agree. It is a good trip though. I would read more.

This turned into a "look at the pretty colors" trade than a "read the actual story" kind of comic. I recommend for the art, design, colors, all the visual stuff. But the writing was just. AGGHHHH. You know when writers go "I'm going to string together sentences of words that sound pretty on surface level but don't make any sense when you think about it for a second"? I hate that. Good writing, no matter how lyrical, still makes coherent sense.

Megan has had her body taken over by an alien life form. She was the mean girl in school and after taking too many drugs and drowning, she was declared brain dead. Enter our birdlike alien, who takes over her body and intends to live her life. But her life, is not all he thought a human life would be like. Part of what keeps this graphic novel flowing is our alien thinks in poetry, and interrupts himself in Shades poetry. It‘s all a big mess.
