First off, II received an ARC of this book for free from The Book Drop.
Omg this book was so cute! It was cozy and fluffy and just plain adorable!
First off, I loved the artwork! I had an ARC so I only had a little bit of the full color artwork, but from what I saw, it is amazing. The artwork gave the book a really cozy and autumn feel, which matched the entire vibe of the book.
I also loved the representation. Nova is queer, Chinese American, hard-of-hearing, and has two grandmothers who are in a relationship with each other. Tam is non-binary and also Chinese American. I loved how all of these elements were incorporated into the story. For example, Nova’s hearing aids get talked about a lot throughout the book.

The supporting characters were great as well. Nova’s friend, Tatyana, was awesome and I loved their friendship. Another standout was Nova’s cousin Terry (if you’ve read the book, you’ll know why).
Also the bookshop/cafe that Nova’s grandmothers own is the cutest thing ever, especially the special room dedicated to the witchy books.
The storyline is fairly simple but it worked. This is just a feel good graphic novel and a straight forward plot was exactly what it needed.
Overall, this is the perfect fall/Halloween read!...more

I liked how clever this volume was. The choose your own adventure comic was so much fun. Plus, Doreen’s foray into online dating was so relatable. I loved how the last comic gave us a (totally not boring) computer science lesson.

I loved the whole vibe of this. I liked that it was set in the 1960’s and the artwork matched perfectly. It had the right blend of vintage throwback and horror.
As for the story, I liked the darker take on Sabrina. The first couple of issues had a lot of backstory, but once it got to main plot I was hooked.
Overall, this was a fantastic spooky read. I cannot wait for the show. ...more

It had so many references to the ride, including some of the exact same lines. I liked how the bad guy was a pirate ghost because Pirates of the Caribbean is also located in New Orleans Square at Disneyland. Overall, a must have for fans of the classic ride.
Side Note: The book without the dust cover is absolutely stunning! ...more

I honestly know very little about Cyborg since I’m more of a Marvel fan than a DC fan. Because of this, there were some characters who I did not know and it took me a bit to understand the backstory.
That being said, it was a fun, entertaining comic. There were some parts of the plot that were confusing but I managed to understand most of it.
As usual, Squirrel Girl is freaking amazing. I loved how she took down Doctor Doom in this collection. Very clever. The Howard the Duck two partAs usual, Squirrel Girl is freaking amazing.

I had won a Cyborg comic from DC via Goodreads' giveaways but they accidentally sent me this book. I was actually pretty happy getting this book because it's written by Gene Luen Yang, who is an Asian American. I love supporting my fellow Asians.
I didn't know what to expect from this. The only volume of comics I've read is Squirrel Girl, and needless to say her comics are in a league of her own. For some reason I was expecting this to be super serious like the DC movies are, but thank goodness this wasn't.
I really liked this. It was entertaining and kept me engaged throughout. It felt like I was watching a Superman movie. There was a ton of action and parts of it were funny (although not laugh out loud funny like Squirrel Girl). I also enjoyed seeing Batman and the rest of the Justice League in the first comic. Overall, a great comic collection. ...more
