Disney Fairies Volume 1: Prilla’s Talent – Fans of Disney’s latest franchise Fairies, finally have their own full color comic.  Papercutz, publisher of the Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew comics, has added Tinkerbell and her friends to their roster.  In this first volume, we meet Prilla, Rani, Beck and Vidia, and follow their adventures in Pixie Hollow.  With four stories in all, this is a great title for an existing Fairies fan or for one to become one.  Papercutz has shown they know how to handle a property properly, and this series will be no exception.  This series will be great for elementary and middle school libraries.

Avalon: Warlock Diaries Volume 3 – This is the final volume of this manga series based on Avalon: Web of Magic novel series.  The Mages are in a race to protect Avalon and all the creatures of magic from the evil Warlock that seeks to enslave them all.  Even with the help of a pack of mistwolves, and a hoard of dragons, will it be enough?  Fans of the novels will enjoy this new story set in the Avalon Universe, and new readers can find out what all the excitement is all about.  Now that the series is complete, this is a great time to add it to your library.
