An action-packed DnD adventure that actually has a lot going on, while at the same time feels like drinking your morning tea/coffee on the veranda.

A hidden gem. Didn’t expect the inside to be in the same beautiful colorful art as the cover! Surely is a very unique artstyle and quite mesmerizing to look at. The color palette as well as the designs are just hypnotic and fit the vibe of the world so well! Even though it plays around…

On the left, the back cover. A picnic cloth lying in grass, with a sandwich with brainy insides, a bone cookie ("GUDBOY") and a bloody bubble tea. Text: "Zom is just your average everyday zombie girl. Enjoy this laugh-out-loud, wordless comic collection, which follows the everyday adventures of Zom, a zombie girl; Ari, a resident vampire; and Theo, a loveable werewolf. Zom and her fantastical friends navigate everything from dating to beach trips to roommate spats in a colorful, engaging world full of ghouls, skeletons, and ghosts. This silent graphic novel takes full advantage of the illustrated format and shows the hearts (literally, in some cases) at the core of even the spookiest monsters. ZomCom'ics is great for anyone who likes spooky, funny, and relatable stories." Andrews McMeel PUBLISHING® www.andrewsmcmeel.com $18.99 U.S.A.

ZomCom’ics – Webcomic Review

Loved it! (Especially the Spiderman meme lmao. Or the death reaper situations.) Silent comics are always so cool, and shows again & again how you don’t need many words (or any words) to tell a story! I especially love how diverse and creative each strip is. All kinds of mythological creatures in situations that I…

The front cover of "Bog Myrte" by Sid Sharp on the right: Beatrice, in a red dress, a round woman with brown short hair, is standing in the left bottom corner on a hill. She's surrounded by many green to blue hills and trees. The hill at the top looks like a hill, but is actually the green head with two eyes and hands that are holding onto the other hills, looking curiously down to Beatrice. On the left, the german back cover is seen. Text: "Die gutherzige Beatrice möchte ihrer Schwester Magnolia, die immer friert, einen Pullover stricken. Von Moor Myrte – einer Spinnenfrau, die im Wald lebt und sich für dessen Erhalt einsetzt – kriegt sie ein Zaubergarn geschenkt und macht daraus einen magischen Pulli für ihre Schwester. Aber anstatt sich über das Geschenk zu freuen, möchte sich Magnolia am Pulli bereichern und befiehlt Beatrice und den ihr helfenden Spinnen, noch viele weitere zu stricken. Was, wenn Moor Myrte das herausfindet? Sid Sharps erstes Buch »Der Wolfspelz« war für den Deutschen Jugendliteraturpreis 2024 nominiert."

A crime fantasy book that technically reads like a youngster’s adventure, yet the themes and language are definitely for adults.

"Veronika is 24 and tired: of her crummy boyfriend, of living with her parents, of feeling stalled out while everyone else moved on. With a new job coding software for a “wellness” company that makes brain-boosting energy drinks, she finally has a chance to turn things around. At this rate, Veronika may never feel tired again! But as she gets more comfortable with the office and the people in it, Veronika stumbles upon surprises in the dark that leave her questioning everything she thought she knew about the world… and about herself."

What is it that they see from where they’re standing? What is it that we experience as creatures braving the streets?"

Doesn’t feel that brand new, possibly has lots of similarities to other works (someone on another platform mentioned Harry Potter, can’t confirm though), but it was a fun ride. (And I’m way older than the target group!) Diverse, adventurous, creative, and focused on friendship, which always is a plus. – Story: Quite fast-paced, there’s always…

That was so… heartwarming. Soft and tender, sweet and magical. I was moved to tears here and there, though mostly smiled through it, and deeply felt with all of the characters. It has stirred me so profoundly, especially the ending left me with an unexplainable longing, that I’m a bit too awestruck to form any…
