I read a few volumes of The Sandman by the author a long time ago. When I saw an advance copy of this, I thought I could give this a shot as well. I requested in on Edelweiss+, and that has not impacted my review in any manner. The drawings and the stories themselves pack… Continue reading The Neil Gaiman Library Volume 3 (Neil Gaiman Library #3)

Wicked Epic Adventures: Another Wallace the Brave Collection by Will Henry
I have read and reviewed two other books by this author and this collection felt as good, if not better than the others. Wallace and his friends lead simple lives with some lofty ideas at times. They live in a small town, with limited people who make appearances ( seagulls, and one in particular also… Continue reading Wicked Epic Adventures: Another Wallace the Brave Collection by Will Henry
In Love &Pyjamas by Catana Chetwynd
This is an excellent collection of panels showing the couple that I am sure everyone has seen online before. Even if you have not seen them, they depict a solid relationship's everyday-ness that you might recognize yourself in it. This time around, with the quarantine, a few show some of those scenes as well.I have… Continue reading In Love &Pyjamas by Catana Chetwynd
The Adoption by Zidrou, Arno Monin
This is a one part, translated graphic novel. It is mostly based in France and part of it in Peru. The heartfelt illustrations convey more than the sparse words in the panels convey. Some of them had no words but still had a punch to them! The story is of a man who, post retirement,… Continue reading The Adoption by Zidrou, Arno Monin
The Gold Eater (Undertaker # 1)
Once again, I fell into the trap of not noticing that graphic novel I was picking up was the first in a series. As I have no way of getting my hands on the next two (other than buying them), I will have to be satisfied with just this one. That said, I was glad… Continue reading The Gold Eater (Undertaker # 1)
The Grémillet Sisters : Sarah’s Dream by Giovanni Di Gregorio
Alessandro Barbucci (Illustrator), L. Benson (Translator) I have not read as many graphic novels this year as I usually do, but this was tempting. This is a story of three sisters whose mother goes missing one day.As they hunt for their mother, the secrets behind the eldest's dream, each shows their own unique characteristics. It is a simple… Continue reading The Grémillet Sisters : Sarah’s Dream by Giovanni Di Gregorio
A Small Fiction by James Miller
I have seen multiple mini-stories online before, and when I first picked up this book, I did not know what I was expecting. There is no pattern in the flow of the narration, some focus on fairy tales, others were on AI, but all of them were thought-provoking (as the blurb rightly claims). Every next… Continue reading A Small Fiction by James Miller
Giant by Mikael
This was a graphic novel with very evocative artwork. Some pages had more colour than others. It is a stark, realistic take on the lives of Irish immigrants who came to work in a growing city that offered them labour in return for fostering dreams of making it big. The skyscrapers of NYC form… Continue reading Giant by Mikael
