    Review: The Adventures of the Araknid Kid, Episode 1

    Katherine Dacey, March 10, 2009 | Reviews, Uncategorized

    This appealing all-ages title began its life at Zuda Comics with a four-page story about a web-slinging cowboy who spoke in pictograms (a.k.a. rebuses). When creator Josh Alves moved The Adventures of the Araknid Kid to Sugaryserials.com, he fleshed out the concept a little more. His hero was still a taciturn spider who expressed himself […]

    Review: Suihelibe! Volumes 1-2

    Snow Wildsmith, March 2, 2009 | Manga, Reviews

    Junior high is a time for new experiences, new activities, and new friends. Tetsu’s life, though, seems to be the same as it always was, though, until his search for a club to join leads him to the dwindling biology club and a strange young girl named Lan. She is actually an alien from the […]

    Review: Claudia and Mean Janine

    Eva Volin, February 21, 2009 | Reviews, Uncategorized

    The first time I ever read a Baby-Sitter’s Club book was during my Young Adult Literature class in library school.  Sure, I’d known about the series for years, but I was already too old for them when they were first released in 1986, so I never had a reason to pick one up.  I’d made […]

    Treasure Island

    Esther Keller, February 20, 2009 | Reviews, Uncategorized

    I have a confession to make.  I never read Treasure Island as a kid.  Actually, I haven’t read it as an adult either.  Until reading the Marvel illustrated version, I had no desire. But now I feel like I’ve missed out.  Treasure Island (Marvel Illustrated Series) By Robert Louis Stevenson Adapted by Roy Thomas Art […]

    Review: Yen+ Magazine: First Five Issues–Part THREE

    Snow Wildsmith, February 9, 2009 | Manga, Reviews

    This is the third part of my review of Yen+ magazine, the August through December 2008 volumes. In part one I introduced the magazine and reviewed the two American titles, Nightschool by Svetlana Chmakova and Maximum Ride by James Patterson and NaRae Lee. In part two I reviewed the four Korean comics and here in […]

    Review: Yen+ Magazine: First Five Issues–Part ONE

    Snow Wildsmith, February 9, 2009 | Manga, Reviews

    My library currently subscribes to the same two manga magazines that most other libraries probably subscribe to: Shonen Jump and Shojo Beat. While both are great magazines and terrifically popular with my teens, I’m always on the lookout for new manga mangazines to add to the collection. When Yen Press announced its intention to begin […]

    Review: Sugar Princess: Skating to Win Volume 1-2

    Lori Henderson, January 29, 2009 | Reviews

    Sugar Princess, despite it’s girlish title and subject, is a title that deserves it’s “All Ages” rating.  Though, I think a “G” (General Audiences) may be a better rating, as this book has the ability to appeal to everyone; old and young, male and female.  It’s a short story, only lasting 2 volumes, but is […]

    Review: Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade, No. 1

    Katherine Dacey, January 15, 2009 | Reviews, Uncategorized

    Among the comic industry’s worst-kept secrets is that most superhero fare is too adult for young readers—the very audience for which characters like Supergirl were originally created. The recent success of kid-friendly titles such as Tiny Titans, Super Friends, and Billy Batson and the Magic of Shazam, however, demonstrates that younger fans want more than […]

    Ghostbusters

    Esther Keller, January 14, 2009 | Reviews, Uncategorized

    st1:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } Who you gonna call?  Ghostbusters!  Anyone who grew up in the 80s (yes, I’m dating myself now), will recognize this refrain.  It’ll also probably bring up an image of a giant marshmallow traipsing through New York City. So, of course, I couldn’t resist the title when I saw it on display in the […]
