pickThis was cute. I quite enjoyed, it enough to read more, but enough to feel like I‘m on the right track with some palate cleaning graphic novels.

Apparently one of my students sees me as a super hero:)
For some reason I‘m very much in a slump. Eye racing more so than audio, though that‘s affected too. Going to try some print graphic novels to break the spell lol.
pickThis is a Batman at the start of his career story.
It follows on from another story but works as a standalone.
I was surprised by this one as it had a vampire theme to it and was surprisingly violent.
It's a Batman battles a vampire cult story, and I enjoyed it a lot.
so-soThe appeal of this dark comic described as Richard Starry‘s Busy Town meets Dexter is in the disconnect between illustrations that (mostly) wouldn‘t look out of place in a children‘s book with a storyline about a gruesome murder spree in a small town & a 🐻 who is concerned that her own murderous ways are on the verge of being uncovered.
That said, I thought this would have a more tongue in cheek vibe but this is just dark, which isn‘t my vibe.
My #staycationintimeswap has arrived safe and sound! 🎉Super excited to open it (and super anxious about the last items on their way so I can mail my own out 😅) @Bookwormjillk
pickExquisite. Enchanting. The most beautiful immigrant story I've encountered, bursting with Tan's fantastical creations. Feels sort of sacrilegious to sing the praises in words, of a story told entirely in images to such powerful effect, but it's what I got! I'm now going to reread it.
If you somehow haven't picked up Creature by this artist/author, highly recommend.
⚠️Images of forced child labour, war, death, major injury
so-soI thought I'd reread this since I liked the *idea* of Cassandra Cain. I feel her Batgirl design is unsexualised and batlike in a pretty neat way, but I don't love a lot of the art in this one, and it's hard to fully follow without context.
pick4✨Another great Dog Man graphic novel all about AI. I always make sure to read the inspiration behind the book, and while there was book references in this one, it was more about AI and how it could comedically take over even if they have a large off switch. It had me laughing out loud in several scenes.
