I really appreciated Khouri’s artwork, with its heavy linework. This book also shows how important color is to a story, for mood and setting. The entire book was presented in a warm palette of yellows and oranges, which insinuated to me, a planet with a different type of sun.

It is amazing to see how true to the story that Shanower is in a comic format, and Young’s art is beautiful, personalized, and true to the imagination of how the characters are described. It is clear that the creative team is avid fans of L Frank Baum’s work.

It is a great reference book for comic scriptwriting and very easy to follow along. I recommend it to folks who are starting to write and it is also a great reference and reminder book for seasoned writers too.

The story is pretty weird, and it seems a bit haphazard, but I am also assuming it is a collection of serialized stories. It basically reminded me of a magical unicorn version of “Quantum Leap”.

I loved that my memories of the book stayed true. I think this book really launched me into the idea of world-building, as Berenstain showed the history, culture, and activities of trolls in a fun and entertaining way that inspired me as a child to make my own worlds.

There are a lot of dad joke books out there, and many of them carry the same uneventful puns, and it is rare to find a book that has some that are not filled with elementary school level jokes or ones that are pun in objectively bad taste.
This book is mostly filled with funny puns that are delightfully witting and also groan-worthy in the workplace, at church, and in the playground.

I really have started to prefer the space-faring comic titles as it seems like more epic events take place that has lasting meta plot effects as compared to the more earth-bound titles.
I am also curious to see where the storyline is going. Al Ewing, the writer is making the not-so-subtle comparison to the team with the Avengers, by calling the team the ‘Space version of the Avengers.’

My 6-year-old raided my bookcase and found a Star Wars: The Clone Wars graphic novel called “Shipyards of Doom” and has been eagerly reading it to me and to her younger sister every night.
I am such a proud dad to see my daughter discover Star Wars on her own. She was even more excited to discover that Disney Plus has all of the Star Wars too.

One of my favorite things about reading Christmas-related stories is how the writer interprets the mythos. . with that said, I do not want to spoil any parts of the story, but the Jack Frost story arc is innovative and amazing.
