You had me at urban fantasy.
Summer Spirit ★★A preteen hangs out with her cousins and a ghost for the summer.
Stig & Tilde #3: The Losers Club ★★
A lesser Lord of the Flies type story with poor, rudimentary art.
Primer ★★★★★
A fun kid's book with DC's newest superhero.
Cuphead Volume 1: Comic Capers & Curios ★★★
So, yeah, they turned this video game into an old-timey comic.
Dragon Age: Blue Wraith ★★
This should have been much better than it actually was. It's a cool world and characters but poor storytelling and art.
Raiders ★★
A nihilistic and brutal Dungeons & Dragons derivative of Head Lopper.

All taken care of Pam. :)
Turns out reading while donating platelets is a great way to catch up on your reading. Read half my book today.
Here is where we can discuss all things!!
This is where we can talk about and keep up with what you plan on reading for the Month of July.
The Last Odyssey (Sigma Force, #15) ★★★★If you've never read Sigma Force, it's kind of a cross between Indiana Jones and James Bond. In this one they retrace the Odysseus's steps from Homer's The Odyssey to find Tartarus.

Welcome Geoff! It sounds you and I like a lot of the same things.
We watched Knives Out this weekend on Prime. An excellent twist on the murder mystery genre.
Streamliner Vo. 1: Bye Bye Lisa Dora ★★★★★A story about racing hot rods in the desert.
Milo's World Book 3: The Cloud Girl ★★★
A cross between Studio Ghibli and Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Wonder Woman: Tempest Tossed ★★★★
A YA version of Wonder Woman that explores modern social issues like refugees, immigration, food insecurity, and human trafficking.
Klaw Vol.3: The Cycle Renewed ★★★A confusing story about multiple groups with animal totem powers fending off one another.

Bix ★★★An almost wordless biography of Bix Bierderbecke, an influential jazz musician, told almost completely through Scott Chantler's emotive art.
Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead: Typhoon ★★★★A new novel set in China where a billion people are now zombies.
Seeking the Truth (Through Lya's Eyes, Vol.1) ★★★★Story of a young lady seeking the hit and run driver who left her in a wheel chair.

I picked this book up there."I think most used book stores still kicking around don't care too much about making money and just do it because they enjoy it.
