3 stars because non-consent. Could’ve rated it 5 stars without it, because everything else is really good.

The story is quite slow-paced, just like the protagonist, Sheena. Sheena is an orphan living in an orphanage where magic-users are sent to train for the war.

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…

Garden Spells is a magical realism novel about two sisters who learn to love each other after a difficult childhood. At the start of the novel, the women have been estranged for over a decade before the prodigal sister returns home with her daughter. This is the first book in the Waverly Family series. This…

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."

Cinnamon Soul – Book Review

Arden Skye1 month ago1 month ago113 mins

Share this:

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

A horizontal promo image of Moana 2. Moana, Maui, and the 3 additional characters (Keke, Moni and Loto) as well as the Kakamora are on the boat on the right, while Pua is sitting on a wave to the left, which is putting Hei-Hei back on the boat. There's the ship of the Kakamora, and an island, which looks like an open mouth of a whale, and a sunset in the background.

Moana 2 was quite disappointing, when I first watched it, but after I let it rest for a while, it didn’t seem that bad anymore.

Merfolk & Water Creature characters

Only a few characters of the whole cast are merfolk/water creatures. (They make more appearances throughout the series and aren’t the center of the plot to be listed under “episodes”.)
