AuthorManuele Fior
ISBN8876181717
It was hard not to take immediate notice of the utterly beautiful cover of this book. When I then proceeded to check out Manuele Fior's art style, I was completely blown away by his exuberantly-illustrated pages, his eye for color, and his passion quite visibly oozes from the book.

Sweet Tooth, Volume 6: Wild Game
AuthorJeff Lemire
ISBN1401240291

Here is my full series review for volumes 1-6.

The big "reveal" for the series came in volume 5 and it was supremely not what I expected. Volume 6 continues down that path of "not what I expected" EXCEPT that it fully delivered on the one thing I knew would happen and that would promptly destroy...

Appelez-moi Nathan
AuthorCatherine Castro
ISBN2228921629
¡Qué maravilla de libro y qué pena me da que no sea todo lo conocido que se merece!
