The third treasury of the classic strip finds Calvin and his stuffed tiger Hobbes getting into all kinds of new trouble. The laughs are still funny all these years later. The only thing I have to say is if you aren't familiar with this classic comic strip, fix that immediately if not sooner.

The sixth Jaine Austen mystery finds Jaine agreeing to write jokes for an unfunny stand-up comic. But before she can get started, the woman is arrested for murder. The weapon, a pair of pantyhose. Definitely for those who love funny mysteries, this one will keep you laughing while you puzzle over the clues.

Amazing writing style
Superheroes? Or villains?
Dark and delicious
Schwab does it again with a dark and delicious unique story.
If you like creepy superpowers and questioning morals this is for you!
I loved how it switched to different times, both past and present and between different characters backgrounds, all while not being confusing, to create a complete and interesting story.
I really wish it came with illustrations comic book style

picked this movie up at for $2. The story line was not the greatest (2/5) but what got me to enjoy this movie was the sets and how the story was told. It was like watching a comic book like sin city with some cirque du soleil mixed in. So for style i give it 4/5.
If you watch this movie i suggest you do it for the style not the story line.

Book Favorite

"A friend of mine recommended it as a good introduction to comic book reading for adults, and I latched onto it. It’s Romeo and Juliet passion meets Star Wars epic and Game of Thrones provocativeness but with sharp and witty dialogue and incredibly imaginative illustration. My favorite character: Lying Cat: a cat that, instead of meowing, says, ‘lying’ every time someone lies in its presence – now that’s a superpower I would want!"
