pickAfter a mountaineering accident, Bruce Wayne is nursed back to health by a shaman.
They have discussions afterwards, Wayne learns some secrets of the shaman and take them back to Gotham, where he becomes the Batman.
It is an excellent graphic novel and a perfect follow-up to Year One.
Beautifully illustrated, and a cool storyline.
pickWhat a sweet slice of life, depicting a mother watching her son work through the intricacies of figuring out his identity. She doesn‘t push or pull or try to direct him one way or another. Even though it seems pretty clear where he‘ll end up. She just sets up a welcoming place for him to land when he gets there. I LOVED it! 🥰
pickI thoroughly enjoyed this comic. I'm not normally a comic person but I enjoy the story weaving of this mythology retelling. The artwork is amazing.
pick06/100 One reading goal for 2025 was to try more non- superhero graphic novels. A friend recommended this, and I'm glad she did because it was great. I love the Rat Queens, I love the world they live in, I love the violence and the gory bloodshed. The art by Roc Upchurch was truly amazing. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫 I look forward to reading more of the series.
Busting out those theatre student skills to revisit Lear before going back to Private Rites (one time I read 2-3 plays after a late night rehearsal 🙃)
pickBad kids smoking the whacky tobaccy in the Edwardian era.
I‘ve never read any Patricia Briggs but I know she‘s a long running paranormal author, werewolf & coyote shifters in this case.
Decent read & art but I don‘t know much of Dynamite Comics. I think they‘ve made a trend of publishing established series comics.
You all read up on Patricia Briggs & Kim Harrison? Pretty old school urban fantasy writers I assume.
pickI‘m so glad you put graphic novels on your list, @Billypar I love them but it‘s been awhile. I was surprised to find this was fiction. Weaving together the narrator‘s life growing up with his current work as a journalist, this is a compelling story. I do wish there were more about the clowns - it felt there was more to their story. I found the art really interesting and took a lot of time examining them. Overall a great choice! #AuldLangSpine
