Kerry and the Knight of the Forest OGN
Nov 9, 2020 |
Regardless of your age, I recommend Kerry and the Knight of the Forest highly. Its a gorgeous book and the parable within is not something that is relevant to just a young reader, but to anyone who has ever been on a personal trip of conscience. Watson has become a real strength in the genre, and I always look forward to seeing what he does next. A playful, fantastical, quirky and easy to read graphic novel that nails the theme completely, its undoubtedly one to seek out and enjoy. I certainly did. |

This truly is a magical book with a story that has a simplicity about it, but in the best way. A tale of two young people who are in a transitional period of their lives, a time where everything seems to be changing, when nerves are on edge, the world seems bigger than it ever has and the future is this shiny strange and distant curiosity. So, grab a pumpkin spice coffee, pull a blanket over your knees, put a lamp on and sit and enjoy your time with this. Its heart-warming, thoughtful and has as much charm as it has pumpkins. The perfect graphic novel for the season. An absolute joy. |

The Book of Fork OGN
Oct 15, 2019 |
Furiously original and over-flowing with innovation and offbeat ideas, The Book of Forks, like it's predecessors, is a visual feast as well as a banquet for the grey matter. Captivating and borderline enchanting, I thought this was a luminescent black-and-white treat, and a sterling closing chapter to The Motherless Oven Trilogy. Rob Davis is an unorthodox wizard of invention, and this trilogy could very well be his career masterpiece. |

Atar Gull OGN

With an art style that oddly compliments the shocking, strong and punch-in-the-gut writing, Atar Gull is one to check out if you have a chance, at least (and maybe only) once. |

I highly recommend this, whatever your age or gender, whatever your taste in the graphic novel scene. The blend of themes is done very well, as I said, and the final product is a memorable tale featuring extremely likeable characters. Awesome. |

Tiananmen 1989: Our Shattered Hopes OGN
Aug 7, 2020 |
If you have interest in the desire for democratic rule and the absolute need for history to be kept alive, then this fact-based almost-memoir of a graphic novel will be something you should read. With horrifying but beautiful illustrative work and very concise writing that keeps you on track in an intelligent way, Tiananmen 1989 is now a fully fledged form of information surrounding what happened 31 years ago. Read it, learn about it, and be another reason that this story isn't erased from human history. |

It wasn't perfect and I did find that there were some moments where the story felt a little forced and not especially as riveting as other parts, but overall I had a very good time with this, and look forward to reading the second part when it's released. |
