Sorry for the unannounced break during summer, but the Reading Guild is back! And since October is known for being the creepy Halloween month, … Theme: horror Read and review anything that’s a book – novels, comics, mangas, graphic novels, poem collections, scripts, short stories, zines, et cetera. (Audiobooks count too, of course!). How to…
It’s incredibly fast-paced, a bit too much in my opinion. Felt like I was reading 4 novels cramped into one, instead of 4 comic issues.

I especially love how diverse and creative each strip is. All kinds of mythological creatures in situations that I…
A new spin, making the protagonist of African descent, a slave and a man of color. Plus, connecting it to the Haitian revolution.
Very sweet! And quite unexpected, especially the ending. Although also nice to have a different kind of happy end for a change. I love that …:
