Munchkin, vol. 5

With promises of hilarious satirical mirth and mayhem in a world of “Dungeon and Dragons”-like fantasy adventure, this collection features various standalone stories, most of which feature the characters Flower and Spyke. The two adventurers are a greedy lot, in search of adventure and “loot” no matter the cost.

Review: Howard Lovecraft and the Frozen Kingdom

At first glance this graphic novel seems to be targeting a very young audience; after all, the characters are drawn very cartoonishly, there is a monster named “Spot”, the dialogue is very basic, and there was an animated feature made based on this book. A closer look, however, reveals that the work is more for middle-grade to young adult readers; the color palette is dark and moody, and some of the themes and phrases are beyond what a grade-school child would be able to comprehend.
