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.

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…

Volcano Princess is a choices matter, cute RPG where you play a father raising his daughter. The game goes through various life stages until she reaches 16 and leaves home. My favourite thing about this game is the large amount of content and replayability. If anything, at 12 hours per playthrough, it could be argued…

On the left, the back cover. A green background with no visuals, just text: "Tessa hasn't spoken to Olive in ten years and she's not about to start now...

Arriving at her family home, she discovers that her parents have rented out the basement apartment to her high school nemesis, Olive Virtue.

More like: friends to enemies to lovers, with a bit of second chance trope. Not that it’s disappointing, I do prefer friends to lovers anyways.

On the right the front cover of "POWERFUL MUSHROOMS AN ILLUSTRATED ANTHOLOGY", written by FEDERICO DI VITA and illustrated by FLORENCIA DIAZ. A range of different psychedelic-like illustrations around the title in the middle with a juicy bright green in the background.
