Ross (3282 KP) rated Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV, Vol 1: From Fear Through The Eyes Of Madness by Coheed and Cambria in Music

Feb 14, 2018

Another fantastic album from Coheed, including some of their best material: from Welcome Home (an acoustic opening that Metallica would be proud of) to the beautiful Wake Up. To understand the album title, you have to appreciate the world of Amory Wars, the graphic novels accompanying the music.

Kudos

This is a ghost story about family bonds, secrets, maintaining relationships, life, and finding peace in a world of confusion. The story is fairly simple, and there are holes in it that definitely could have been filled, but it was a decent little story packed into a graphic novel.

Michael C. Hall recommended Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic in Books (curated)

"This graphic memoir is about becoming an artist, repression, liberation, death, the dichotomous feelings between parent and child… “Fun Home” takes you on a journey into the rich murkiness of Bechdel’s past. The fusion of her writing and illustrative skill make for a singularly vivid encounter. Devastating, hilarious, inspiring."

Cyn Armistead (14 KP) rated Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files: Wild Card (gn) in Books

Mar 1, 2018

I found the way Dresden was drawn distracting here, because he wasn't raw-boned enough, and he was too handsome. There just wasn't enough story, either - and the fact that there's art isn't enough to make up for that. Not sure I'll read any of the other Dresden Files Graphic Novels.

Such a great book! Agniezska (pronounced ag-NYESH-Kahn) is a wonderful heroine. Humble loyal and a bit of a mess, she leaves her home valley to live with a terrifying lord wizard named Dragon. Slightly graphic in some places, this modern Eastern European flavored fairytale will spark anyone's imagination.

I received my book yesterday, a lovely edition of a graphic novel. It isn't one I am familiar with, and not necessarily one I would choose myself but that is the whole point of this exchange. Thanks to the sender, @Cumberland for organising and Merry Christmas everyone!
