Bethr1986 (305 KP) rated Fire Wave (Fire Wave #1) in Books
Mar 19, 2022
Aiyana is intrigued by an attack that has happened on a chemical company so goes to investigate, gets a bit spooked but gets something to look further into to discover what has caused the attacks. Then the building she works in is attacked. That is only the start of the adventure!
I found this story took me a bit to get into, but once I got there I was able to wiz through it quite quickly. There is a lot of action from the get-go and a lot of cool characters.
The seem like they should belong to one of the 2 major graphic novel producers. Extremely intriguing.
Definitely recommend you read this

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2518 KP) rated Bruce Wayne: Not Super in Books
Oct 18, 2023 (Updated Oct 18, 2023)
Fun Middle School Origin Story
Bruce Wayne stands out at his middle school, Gotham Preparatory School for the Really, Really Gifted. No, not because of the wealth he’s inherited from him parents but because he’s the only one without any powers. But when he sees a student bullying another kid, he decides he has to do something. Will he come up with a plan?
This is a fun alternative take on Batman’s origins including cameos from other DC super heroes. The story was entertaining, and I laughed multiple times as I was reading. Be sure to look at the illustrations since some of the jokes are in there. This graphic novel is a very fun read.

David McK (3752 KP) rated Doctor Who: Once Upon a Timelord in Books
Nov 24, 2023
It's hard to believe that BBCs Doctor Who is now 60 (as of 2023).
Yes, you read that right: 60.
Albeit with a hiatus in the 1980s/1990s, until it's triumphant return in 2005.
And it's that later incarnation that is the main lead in this graphic novel, with perhaps-the-most-popular-modern-incarnation (Dr #10, David Tennant, soon also to be Dr #14) taking the lead here alongside his just-after-Rose-Tyler companion Martha. This is then a whistle-stop tour of the Doctor's various enemies, with the story itself being told as a story within a story by Martha to a group of alien monsters who feed off the pyschic energy released by storytellers.

David McK (3752 KP) rated The Odyssey in Books
Apr 6, 2026
The Odyssey.
Homers epic poem, about the travails of Odysseus on his return from the siege of Troy.
It's probably one of the most well-known of ancient saga's, but - from my memory of trying to read it whilst at school - boy, is it a slog to get through.
That is where this comes in, in what is - basically - a graphical retelling of the story in a visual medium (graphic novel), with this covering all the key points of the story, including the fact that Odysseus wasn't exactly faithful to Penelope in the 10 years it took him to get home to Ithica (after spending 10 years at this siege of Troy) ...

David McK (3752 KP) rated Batman, Volume 5: Zero Year: Dark City in Books
Oct 19, 2025
Follow on from Batman, Volume 4: Zero Year – Secret City, this collects issues 25-27 and 29-33 of the so-called New 52's take on Batman, here again in his earliest days - so well before The Joker, Robin, etc - as the vigilante Batman in Gotham City.
Yet to form an alliance with the police, who are - here - still trying to capture or kill him, this Batman does not always win his battles, often coming home to Wayne Manor beaten, bloody and bruised.
That doesn't stop him still trying, though, with this graphic novel - and this storyline - showing how he goes on to become a beacon of hope to the Gothamites.

Lindsay (1807 KP) rated Sharks: A 400 Million Year Journey in Books
Aug 30, 2018
Sharks: A 400 Million Year Journey, is a fascinating book. Ted does wonderfully with the illustrations. I enjoy the pictures. This teaches about us about sharks and the history of them and the planet. This is an educational book and good to have on your children bookshelves.
This is wonderful graphic novel for children. It got a little bit gore in it but it mild. It shows the behavior of sharks. I like the fact that the book teaches about past sharks and present sharks. It also shows how sharks survived over the past 400 million years.
There are facts about sharks throughout the book. We also learn some new names for some sharks. Some are hard to pronounce the name of them. We get to see the adaptations and different kinds and shapes of sharks throughout the years.
The graphics are done well. It good for those that like graphic novels. Young children and little boys are will enjoy this book. If you are in to the history or sharks or like sharks alone. Boys and girls will enjoy learning about sharks along with their parents with this book. It will keep them entertained for sure.
