graphic novel review - a nightmare before Christmas by Jun Asuka

Disney Manga Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas

Disney Manga Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas brings us the beloved Christmas classic in the form of a manga graphic novel.

Everything follows the same plot as the original movie, with Jack longing for something more until he finds himself in Christmas land where his plans start to take form.

I felt this maybe wasn't the best portrayal of the story as things were a little condensed and dialogue from the movie which made it great was lost. I also felt certain points were a little confusing in layout which lost the fluidity of the story leaving the reader a little lost at points.

Overall the story is good but it isn't anything new from the original but instead just a re written version that lost some elements that made the movie great.

Graphic Novel Review: Invincible compendium volume 3 by Robert kirkman TS

Invincible Compendium Volume 3  By Robert Kirkman  Writer:  Robert Kirkman Artist:  Ryan Ottley ,  Cory Walker ,  John Rauch ,  Jean-Francois Beaulieu ,  Nathan Fairbairn Cover:  Ryan Ottley ,  Nathan Fairbairn Published: July 18, 2018 This is my most anticipated graphic novel for the past five years!  So I start this by disclosing that I am a huge fan of Robert Kirkman and the whole Invincible series to start with, I first read the compendium volume 1 maybe eight years ago as a gift from my brother and managed to finish it in a matter of days.

The story being issue to issue jumps right in from the last so ...

Recipie Book Review - The Vegan Cookbook by Adele McConnell

The Vegan Cookbook By Adele McConnell Publisher: Watkins Media  ISBN: 9781848993389  Number of pages: 176  Buy it here Adele McConnell teaches the reader that vegan eating is not about what you can't eat but about what you can eat and how easy it is to enjoy a plant based diet. The book begins with an explanation about what vitamins are provided from which ingredients teaching the reader how easy it is to get what you need from the easiest of ingredients. She teaches that vitamin B12 is not found in plants but can be supplemented from fortified Nutritional Yeast which she uses in an incredible vegan cheese sauce.

Adele pairs wonderful recipes with beautiful images which will have your mouth watering and excited to get into the kitchen. This is not just for the vegan who is new to a pant based kitchen but even for the seasoned vegan who is looking f...
