I don’t like to read nonfiction. Short articles and essays are okay and even tolerable, but an entire nonfiction book? I’d be hard-pressed to finish one. Yet, that’s all changed recently, as I’ve discovered graphic nonfiction. I’m not talking about the less than stellar titles that are being shoved at the school market. I’m talking […]

It’s a small week this week, sadly devoid of any manga. DC continues its push to get younger kids into their universe, with new Super Friends and Tiny Titans issues.
