Comic Crush Saturday: August 23rd, 2019

Welcome to Comic Crush Saturday, our bi-weekly feature focused on the graphic elements of the book world. Comics became a huge part of my life a few years ago when I started reviewing them (and comic related TV shows) on Forever Young Adult. I’ve maintained a pulllist through my local comic shop, Isotope Comics, and even got Kelly to start one ;). You’ll find mini-reviews, what we’ve read recently, and more so check it out!

Featured Review of the Week

Review

I am sorry not sorry because this review is just a bunch of shouty WHY HAVEN’T YOU READ THIS YET.

There are so many graphic novels out there that you can read but if you want to read a graphic novel that is solely PURE JOY, pick up the Heartstopper series. Originally a set of characters in Solitaire, Alice’s debut, turned novella, and now a web series, I dare you to pick up Nick and Charlie and not fall completely in love…with them falling in love.

What We Can’t Wait For

And it's official! HEARTBEAT will be published in the US by @boomstudios! I'm so happy!!! ?
It will be published in 5 comic books starting in November! https://t.co/5f8BzNNJha

We didn’t know we needed this until we got it…

While I know this is gonna scare a lot of you, I hope you can trust me that we're telling an incredible #CaptainMarvel story and – I think – a story unlike we've ever seen before in Carol's book. So excited to have @LeeGarbett joining us for this bold new arc! ?✨??❤️???⚡️ https://t.co/nkY9BL790c
