Chibi styles in western media
Chibis come from Japan, meaning “tiny“ or “little“. Heads are bigger than the body (sometimes the entire head can fit into the rest of the body). Everyone basically looks like a baby or a child. Supposed to be cute, kept rather simplistic. While it is mostly popular in Anime, western cartoons also have chibi-like art…

Dead Rock #1 – Manga Review
If you like Fairy Tale or One Piece, you’ll love this too, probably. I, on the other hand, have never been intrigued by those 2 franchises, and this shows why.
Vampires at Sea by Lindsay Merbaum
Vampires at Sea follows the story of Rebekah, a vampire who feeds off sexual energy, as she goes on a cruise with her husband.

While on the cruise, the couple meet an intriguing entity called Heaven and their relationship is redefined over…

You Wish #2 Wishborn – Graphic Novel Review
Sequel to You Wish #1. The beginning was rather disappointing. If anyone had told me, while reading volume 1, that that’s how volume 2 starts, I’d not have believed it. I mean, it’s a valid reason to act that way, kinda, but still seemed pretty out of character for Gribblet. And so cliche. I did…
