[Book Tag] The Graphic Novel Tag

November 4, 2017      Erica Robyn      8 Comments

The Graphic Novel Book Tag

The Graphic Novel Tag, created by Harriett Rosie, is one that I have been meaning to do for ages! I’m so glad I finally got around to it!

Let’s dive in!

The Graphic Novel Book Tag

1. The first graphic novel you read:
Hmm. Unfortunately I can’t remember the very first graphic novel that I ever read… but the graphic novel that I first read after using Goodreads was Avengers: Mythos written by Paul Jenkins, illustrated by Paolo Rivera. 
2. Your favorite graphic novel:
I have to say the Locke and Key series! Each volume is just so incredible; the storylines are captivating, there is a great dark and spooky tone, and the artwork is so lovely!
3. A graphic novel that disappointed you:
Runaways, Vol. 2: Teenage Wasteland written by Brian K. Vaughan, illustrated by Adrian Alphona. I didn’t really love the first volume of this series, but I had high hopes that I would like the second volume more. Unfortunately that was not the case.. It wasn’t horrible, it was just a miss for me. I think if I had read this when I was a teenager rather than a 26 year old, I would have liked it a lot more. 
4. A graphic novel you’d like to reread:
The Walking Dead series! I can’t remember where I left off on my first read though, but now that I own all of them, I’m dying to give them all a read from start to finish!
5. A graphic novel you would recommend to everyone:
Fahrenheit 451: The Authorized Adaptation by Tim Hamilton. This was such an awesome adaptation! 
6. A graphic novel with art you love:
Tooth and Claw written by Joshua Viola & Angie Hodapp, afterward by Carrie Vaughn. The artwork in this graphic novel is incredible! Each panel looks a bit like an oil paintings because the texture is very soft. The color palette is mainly natural colors with splashes of vibrance. I loved the way that the panels were broken up on the page in varying formats, and that each border of a panel wasn’t clean cut. And boy, I am a total sucker for when the artist includes sound bubbles for noises that are incorporated into the panel!
7. A graphic novel you wish was a series/you wish was longer:
Definitely Rat Queens, before it took a bit of an odd turn of course… I’ve heard that they’re revamping this series and I cannot wait to check it out!
8. A graphic novel that made you laugh:
Lumberjanes, Vol. 1: Beware the Kitten Holy by Noelle Stevenson & others. This whole series is so funny! If you haven’t checked it out yet, I highly recommend it!
9. A graphic novel that took you out of your comfort zone:
I accepted a graphic novel as an honest review request. From the synopsis, I was immediately nervous. Unfortunately, this book just wasn’t for me… It was Growing Up in the New World Order.
10. A graphic novel on your TBR or wish list:
Oh my gosh, I have so many!! Here are a few at the top of my list:
  • The Deadpool Dead Presidents Series
  • Afterlife With Archie
  • Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur Series
  • Descender Series
  • Thornhill by Pam Smy
  • The October Faction
  • Mighty Jack Series by Ben Hatke and colorists Alex Campbell & Hilary Sycamore 
Thanks for reading!

Max is one of the most hilarious people that I fol Max is one of the most hilarious people that I follow on Twitter! I originally learned who he was after seeing him participate in the KillerCon 2020 Virtual Event. I went to follow him and his publishing house, Perpetual Motion Machine (that he runs with Lori Michelle), immediately after his reading.

Within the PMM publishing house, they also have the imprint, Ghoulish Books, which launched in January of 2022. Max’s latest book, Maggots Screaming!, launched today April 12th, 2022 from that imprint. In celebration, I’m so excited to be sharing this interview with Max!

Diaries of the Damned by Ivan Radev is a collectio Diaries of the Damned by Ivan Radev is a collection of tales that span numerous dark fears. But as always, even in the darkness, there’s a bit of light.

In the foreword, the author warns that this is a book of fears, and boy does he play on fears wonderfully! Each tale is presented to readers in the first person to really get readers in the characters shoes. Please use caution here when you dive in. The author does not shy away from the darkness.

Phew, this read will take readers on quite the journey! It was the perfect read for a dark and rainy spring weekend.
