Links: Reading Gotham Academy

March 26, 2015 by Brigid Alverson   Leave a Comment

Ardo Omer hosts a fascinating roundtable in which a group of YA book bloggers, some of whom are comics fans and some of whom are new to comics, read and discuss Gotham Academy, DC’s teen series set in the world of Batman.

Travis Jonker interviews writer Mariko Tamaki and artist Jillian Tamaki, the creators of This One Summer—which is the first graphic novel to be named a Caldecott Honor book.

Sarah Hunter reviews the webcomic The White Snake, by Jen Wang, who recently collaborated with Cory Doctorow on the graphic novel In Real Life.

Monica Edinger discusses using Cece Bell’s El Deafo in her fourth-grade classroom.

Jay Hosler is doing a blog tour to promote his new graphic novel, The Last of the Sandwalkers, and he stops by Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast with an original drawing and some beetle facts.
