Boston Book Festival, Part I: The Panels
This past weekend was the third annual Boston Book Festival and I am proud to say I've attended all three. Each year there have been a few hiccups, but the festival gets bigger and (for the most part)...

Book 43: Persepolis – Marjane Satrapi
I flew through this book and will need to read it again to savor more of the story. When I say I flew, I mean I read it in just over an hour. I read every bit of it and … Continue reading →

Book 44: Persepolis 2 – Marjane Satrapi
If possible, Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return was better than Satrapi’s first graphic novel Persepolis: A Story of Childhood. Don’t get me wrong, they were both great and the first one’s wit and...

CRWM #07: The Adventures of Captain Underpants
For episode seven of Come Read With Me, I was joined by my friend Dalton. He chose The Adventures of Captain Underpants (link to my review) and I am glad he did. This isn’t a book I would have gone out...

Book 388: Emma (Marvel Illustrated) – Nancy Butler and Janet Lee
Before I conquer Dr. Mütter’s Marvels, I decided to read the Marvel Illustrated version of Emma. If you’re not aware, Emma is my least favorite of Jane Austen’s novels. (Gasp! Horror!) This being said,...

Book 393: Sense & Sensibility (Marvel Illustrated) – Nancy Butler and Sonny Liew
I have finally made up for lost time. The downside is I’ve read them all now😦 The upside is that I now want to turn around and re-read them, but I will wait a bit. It’s not like I don’t … Continue...

Book 411: Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic – Alison Bechdel
I first read Fun Home in undergrad after my friend Mia gave me a copy not long after it came out in paperback. (I’m pretty sure it was paperback and I’m pretty sure it was Mia. I wasn’t so great …...

Book 412: Are You My Mother? – Alison Bechdel
After re-reading Fun Home for book group I dove right into the follow-up Are You My Mother? As much as I enjoyed it and ultimately identified with it, it didn’t live up to the magical experience of Fun...
View ArticleBook 549: No Straight Lines: Four Decades of Queer Comics – Justin Hall (Ed.)
I randomly stumbled across the Kickstarter for the documentary version of this book. So of course I had to see if the library had it and it was in the one near me so I walked down and got it at lunch....
View ArticleBook 585: Abridged Classics – John Atkinson
I’m going to keep this review super short, since every 1-2 pages represents a classic that is hundreds of pages long! Who am I to write a super wordy review of a hilarious take on so many classics? Not...
View ArticleBook 590: Check, Please! (#Hockey! #1) – Ngozi Ukazu
My heart is glowing after reading this. Seriously—I will probably read it at least 2-3 more times before I surrender it to the library. There’s just something so sweet and innocent about this and I...

This one has been on my radar for a while, but it jumped up after someone posted the NPR article/review about Fence Vol. 2 on Facebook. I only read the first portion because I didn’t want to ruin...

Tim found the first three when we swung by Midtown Comics (store link)with an hour to kill before seeing Wicked while in NYC. I’m looking at these as palate cleansers between the other books I’m...

These really are great palate cleansers! We bought this one when we bought Bob’s Burgers: Volume 1 on our trip to NYC this past January. We got a third one and I ordered the remaining two when we got...

Similar to the last two (Volume 1 and Medium Rare), we get to spend more time with the Belcher children off-screen. We’ve got more musicals from Gene, Erotic Friend Fiction from Tina, and mayhem and...

Another great palate cleanser as I make my way through Brandon Turner’s The Book on Rental Property Investing. This is the first collection that had a continuation from a previous collection....

SO MUCH CUTENESS!!!!!!!! Seriously though! With the second volume of Ukazu’s Check, Please! being pushed back to April 2020, I needed more adorable gay comics/graphic novels in my life so I went...

I’m not sure how I came across this one. I think after finishing Bloom I wanted more LGBT (emphasis on G, because well obviously) graphic novels/works. I didn’t realize these were comics more in the...

This was a good quick read and a must read if you want to have any idea about what’s going on in Rebels Without Applause. They really should’ve put this into one collection. Maybe they did it because...
