Review: ‘Norroway Book 1: The Black Bull of Norroway’

Sisters Kit and Cat Seaton transform an obscure old fairy tale into a engaging new fantasy in Norroway, a sort of Beauty and The Beast by way of Avatar: The Last Airbender. The first book in the series kicks off an epic adventure in which an unlikely pair face curses and the forces of fate.

Sleepless Written by Sarah Vaughn, Illustrated by Leila Del Duca Image Comics, $16.99 Rated for Teens (ages 13+) It’s no surprise that fantasy stories become more popular when the real world is so uncertain and troubled.

November 5, 2015 by Esther Keller

When the 3 volumes are done, they’ll want more. And right now it’s only the 3 volumes. G-Man: Learning to Fly v. 1 […]

Interview: Chris Giarrusso on ‘G-Man’

September 9, 2015 by Esther Keller
