The Little Red Wolf is an original fairy tale for children and adults alike (maybe more for the parents) with following the little red wolf as he is sent out to deliver a rabbit for his grandmother who is to old to hunt. Upon his travels the little wolf may face some problems along the way bringing an entertaining experience matched with wonderful artwork to be enjoyed by the reader.

This was a wonderful tale with inspiration from little red riding hood. I went in thinking that was what I was going to see in the story and it split off into a whole new story of it's own with a wonderful lesson that things are not always what they seem, along side to listen to your mother, especially when she tells you to avoid the humans who hate wolves.

I felt this was maybe more of a darker tale for children so it's probably aimed more at either the parents or just adults in general but I loved the dark take on the fairy tale along side the great art work.

Graphic Novel Review - Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys: The Big Lie by Anthony Del Col

Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys: The Big Lie by Anthony Del Col Buy it here Something terrible has happened in the nice town of Bayport, Frank and Joe Hardy's father has been murdered and they're suspected of the crime. Only with the help of Nancy Drew can the boys clear their names and find out who really killed their father. Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys is a great modern take on the crime solving cast with a dark noir theme throughout. I felt the darkness in the art was a great take on the story bringing the duo into their more mature lights. I had never read any of the Hardy Boy or Nancy Drew stories but have really enjoyed this and would read further if this style of writing was a route that it went down again, it is defiantly worth a read for everyone who likes a crime solving graphic novel.

Graphic Novel Review - The MERCENARY The Definitive Editions, Vol 1 The Cult of the Sacred Fire by Vicente Segrelles

The MERCENARY The Definitive Editions, Vol 1 The Cult of the Sacred Fire by Vicente Segrelles Series: THE MERCENARY The Definitive Editions (Book 1) Hardcover: 64 pages Publisher: NBM Publishing; 2 edition (November 10, 2017) Language: English ISBN-10: 1681121247 ISBN-13: 978-1681121246 Buy it Here Blurb "In a lost and long forgotten valley high up in the mountains, The Mercenary has been contracted to save a woman from the mysterious and powerful Cult of the Sacred Fire." Review So I went in blind on this not having heard of the mercenary before but unfortunately it just wasn't my style of graphic novel. I found the art tried to fit in female nudity whenever possible which to be honest didn't actually do anything to the story, the characters could have been in snow suits and still the story would be the same so I felt it was just a little over the top.  I also felt there was no introduction to the story or characters so for most of the book I ...

Graphic Novel review - Kobane Calling by Zerocalcare

Kobane Calling by Zerocalcare Paperback 288  Pages / Published:  24/10/2017 ISBN:  9781941302491   Buy it here Kobane calling documents the experience of Italian cartoonist Zerocalcare  as he visits Turkey, Iraq, Syria, to document the life of Kurdish resistance and help those in need caught between the conflict. The book reminds me of a modern day 'Maus' and has a very important subject matter which should be documented and put to the mainstream media much more. Zerocalcare looks at the victims caught up in the war, the people trying to help out those in need and the difficulty involved in trying to bring aid. I went in really excited to read this but unfortunately it left me forcing myself to finish it due to the writing style. I found that the story line struggled to hold onto one thought and bounced between internal and external narratives which distracted and put me off as I read it. I really wanted to enjoy the novel but unfortunately t...
