David McK (3562 KP) rated Star Wars: Vader - Dark Visions in Books
May 7, 2020
A collection of short stories (or vignettes) all centring on Vader, some of these are - admittedly - better than others, with some nice ideas in there (e.g. Vader being seen as a saviour rather than as a villain).
It's just a pity that there's not really enough meat on the bones (so to speak!)

Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated Open Earth in Books

Obviously, this book isn't going to be for pruder individuals. The reason I say this is because at times the graphics were definitely R-rated. This isn't something that you could handsell to a teen or recommend for someone that is younger. With that said, the graphics were very well done and I loved the cutesy artistic style that they portrayed.
Something else that I liked was the integration of spanish in the book. It was done sporadically and it added to the story. I enjoyed the book though I wish it was longer and would have delved into deeper depths of the characters. I felt like I was thrown into a story and didn't feel like I knew anything about any of the characters.
All in all it was a quick good steamy read.
David McK (3562 KP) rated Excalibur: The Legend of King Arthur in Books
Jan 30, 2019
Having said that, I thought I would give this one a go anyway. A retelling of the Arthurian legend, this takes in pretty much all the main characters and events of that legend, but not necessarily all how I was familiar with them (it involves the seelie/unseelie (i.e. faeries) which I don't remember ever having been part of the legend before).
Starting with Arthur's conception and ending with his 'death' at Badon Hill, the novel also glosses over some of the less savory actions that Arthur is supposed to have carried out (ref Tristan and Isolde).
An OK read, and while yes, I may pick up some of the others in the series, this failed to really change my perception of graphic novels as a whole.
