Comic Crush Saturday: May 4, 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 Book of the Week

Review

Ok, so not a comic but I couldn’t resist sharing this one on Free Comic Book Day!

Just give me all the con/comic books related stories. I love them all! Especially the ones with romance ;).

Comics Will Break Your Heart is a modern day Romeo and Juliet story crossed with a “what if” Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s dynamic went terribly wrong and one party got left out.

Some of the things I loved about this book:

  • A sweet romance between Mir and Weldon despite their family’s decades old feud. Yes, Mir’s grandfather was wronged by Weldon’s family but these two find their way to each other.
  • Depth beyond the romance. Mir and Weldon are dealing with their futures and separating self from family. This plays out on the page just as much as the romance.
  • Comics, comics, and more comics. The industry is laid bare in this book but that doesn’t mean non-comics fans won’t enjoy. It’s not all industry speak.
  • Solid plot and characters. If you’re in the mood for cute with a little depth, this is a book for you.

What We Can’t Wait For

Debian Perl: Digital Detective: The Memory Thief is a middle grade graphic novel series created to help kids learn about coding. The art looks so beautiful!
