FROM PANEL TO PANEL • March 2018 Graphic Novel Releases To Look Out For

I love comics and graphic novels, so what do I do with that love? Well, I turn it into a new feature!

From Panel to Panel is a new feature where I talk about the awesome (and perhaps not-so awesome) comic books and graphic novels I’ve read. Basically, this will be me pushing them onto your laps. You’re welcome.

I can’t even describe March’s graphic novels because they’re stories of women throughout history, a librarian working at a haunted museum, charming romances, unlikely team-ups, and many more. This month, you need to put these on your TBR list.

Get your shopping carts loaded with all these comics!

• Brazen: Rebel Ladies Who Rocked the World

Buy: LCBS · Amazon · Barnes & Noble · The Book Depository · Indigo

I love any books that talks about women throughout history. I always find women I’ve never heard about, and I’m forever grateful to learn about them because we really need to know what they did and accomplished! With Brazen, you get comics about these women. I love that!

Spoooooky. A librarians goes to work at the haunted Logan Museum as an archivist and finds herself dreaming of a young woman who’s haunting her dreams! Oh my! I’ve started reading this, and this is an amazing piece of work. I’m easily spooked, so I should stop reading this at night time. ;D

• Batgirl: Stephanie Brown Vol. 2

Buy: LCBS · Amazon · Barnes & Noble · The Book Depository · Indigo · Comixology

I love all Batgirls! I may love Babs a little more, but any chance I get to read about Cassandra Cain or Stephanie Brown, the comic needs to be in my hand pronto.

I love Darwyn Cooke’s art, and any chance I get to look at his work is pure bliss.

• Moonstruck • Vol. 1: Magic to Brew

Buy: LCBS · Amazon · Barnes & Noble · The Book Depository · Indigo · Comixology

Please read my review of the first issue because I fell immediately in love with this cuteness of a comic! I quote, “You know what’s wonderful about Moonstruck? Everything. The writing, the art, the characters, the queerness. It’s a shining beacon of delightfulness.”

• Batgirl (Rebirth) • Vol. 3: Summer of Lies

• The Paybacks • Vol. 1: Payback’s A Bitch

Buy: LCBS · Amazon · Barnes & Noble · The Book Depository · Indigo · Comixology

OH MAN. The Suphero behind the scenes! Not all superheroes can finance their suits or their crime-fighing supercomputers; they have a debt to repay. There’s a new team—a repo team of bankrupt former superheroes who are “here to foreclose on everybody’s secret lairs.” Now that I want to read.

(This may have came out a couple of years ago. Ooop.)
