A Wonderful Version and Tale of the Man of Steel

I thoroughly enjoyed this project. Gene Luen Yang has been on fire. I read his previous collaboration with Gurihiru on the continuing adventurers of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Superman Smashes the Klan is sure to pique your interest. The The story utilizes the a bit unfamiliar Golden Age version of Superman from the old radio shows. He doesn’t have the full range of powers we normally associate with the modern version of the character. The art was very complimentary. The story was purposeful and charming.

BUTTON PUSHER Review

Tyler’s brain is different. Unlike his friends, he has a hard time paying attention in class. He acts out in goofy, over-the-top ways. Sometimes, he even does dangerous things―like cut up a bus seat with a pocketknife or hang out of an attic window. In Button Pusher, cartoonist Tyler Page uses his own childhood experiences to explore what it means to grow up with ADHD. From diagnosis to treatment and beyond, Tyler’s story is raw and enlightening, inviting you to see the world from a new perspective.

Batman – One Bad Day: The Riddler Review

The Riddler is one of Batman’s most intellectual villains and the one who lays out his clues the most deliberately. The Riddler is always playing a game, there are always rules. But what happens when The Riddler kills someone in broad daylight for seemingly no reason? No game to play. No cypher to breakdown. Batman will reach his wit’s end trying to figure out the Riddler’s true motivation in this incredible thriller!
