I‘ve encountered many black cats in my readings. My current favorite black cat is Alarm Cat from the comic series titled, Shutter❤️⏰🐱 He makes me wish that I had an Alarm Cat of my own 😊

pickShutter volume 1
About: Young famous female explorer living on an alternate Earth suddenly gets pulled back into a life of action when her family‘s secrets catches up to her. Oddly enough, there is also a strange cat (alarm cat) 🐱
Anyways, this was a fun start to a new series. I like it, and look forward to volume 2 👍

pickThis volume hit all the feels and was a satisfying conclusion to a series that was mostly bonkers (in the best way) and sometimes profound. I‘m glad I got to go on one last wild ride with these characters!

so-soThis felt very much like setup. I understand that it was just volume 1, but I felt like it was all build up. Not enough info and barely got to know the characters.
pickInteresting start to this series. Some elements of Saga here (alarm cat < lying cat) and even Sandman (powerful network of siblings with questionable motives). But intrigued by the lead female adventurer.
pickThis graphic novel has been on my TBR for ages - so long that I had no idea anymore what to expect. It's sci-fi (I guess?), kind of weird, and rather violent at times. I don't even really know how to explain it, but I think I liked it? Can't decide if I want to read the rest of the volumes.
pickThis has been the first time #Moonshine has been calm enough to just chill on my lap all day, lol. Luckily I had my phone with me so that once I finished Shutter, I could post without having to move him. 😻
This volume intrigued me. Monsters? ✅ Family drama? ✅ Excellent artwork and a killer cliffhanger? ✅✅ I'll definitely pick up Vol. 2, once my comics TBR shrinks a bit more. 😬
pickSo... this volume was basically bananas from start to finish! Lots of interesting characters and could be an absolutely wild ride. Only drawback - I feel like this may be a slow burn series as a lot of questions were raised and hardly any were answered in this volume. I've got volume two ready to go so we will see. 😄
pickThis is a bowl of crazy with wtf sauce on top. But I like it!
It's always good to have a friend who knows just what you need and enjoys it as much at you do!
so-soShutter was a lot of really interesting and funny ideas barfed onto the page without enough planning or cohesion. By the end of this collection we are still left with the explanation of "secrets" as the answer to an overwhelming amount of questions and there was really no world building. Maybe it gels more in the next volume but I think I'm going to pass. Her dad seems like an a**.
I do really like his GR pic and "about" info. ?
Hmmm....This one might be too much for me. I mean, is that Monopoly Man come to life? It doesn't help that I'm not completely in the mood for it but I'm reading it because it has a hold and needs to go back to the library. There is just so much unexplained randomness going on.

Day two and Sixth stop for #bookstoretourism was Austin Books & Comics (and Sidekick Store). I'm counting this as my fave. I could have spent hours here. They were having a big weekend sale so happy day for me! The staff here are super nice & knowledgeable - shutter and autumnlands were the recommendations I got based on the books I told them I liked. Looking forward to these new reads and will def try to get to this store more often.
pickSuper original and interesting! I liked the adventure aspect, and I'm dying to read more. Also alarm cat is da best.
Meet Alarm Cat. He's a robotic alarm clock cat who loves candy and reading. And he bakes too!
