I missed this tradition of every year waiting for a new Harry Potter book and getting them for christmas or near christmas (because that's when they would come out in Brazil) and reading them during my vacation time. It was a nice tradition and I can't wait to get back to it with the new illustrated editions
I said I wouldnt buy the illustrated edition if HP right away, but when I saw it in a shop and had a little flick through I knew I couldn't leave without it. You're so right, Jim Kay has done an outstanding job on the illustrations! Even though he has adhered to J.K. Rowling's writing, he has out his own spin and interpretation in to the images. I just wish we didn't have to wait years to collect the entire series!
Those Olympians graphic novels look ace! You might also like the Wonder Woman New 52 arc by Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chang, as that involved a lot of Greek God family tree shenanigans, and some creative re-imaginings of how some of them looked. Hades was brilliant!
:) Hope you like it! Personally I found the artwork in that arc a lot more accomplished than the story, but there's a lot to like on both fronts I think. Chang uses inspiration from Greek art styles, like the line work in Diana's hair. Her hair is awesome. :)
I absolutely love comics and graphic novels! Have you tried Hellboy yet? It's technically horror, but it's horror in a Lovecraftian sort of way rather than gore. Mignola has the most interesting illustrations, lots of shadows and no overuse of text. He mixes in A LOT of folklore and myth into his work. It's just fantastic!
Have you seen the just published pricey deluxe ed. of HP book I PS? Product plus plus plus. All 7 deluxe ed. books'll put someone back >$1000 US and together would be superheavy.
Have you heard about the graphic biography of Rosa Luxemburg? It's called red rosa and even tho I haven't read it yet it seems really good so I thought I'd tell you about it haha xx
I know that this is probably a silly question Jean, because it seems like everyone has read them, but have you ever read the Percy Jackson books by Rick Riordan, and do you think that they're good? I'm looking for a new series. By the way, I love your content. :)
+Kristen M I haven't actually haha, which surprises people. I know it has mythology in it but it does't really sound like my cup of tea :( thank you though!
unfortunately, i found wytches to be boring and not a fan of the art. i was flipping through the pages. i just donated it to my work place library. now saga is on a whole different level.its the best out there

+Anna Lívia Marques I know it is going to be so reminiscent ^_^
Dreadful wind and rain looks absolutely gorgeous!

Ahhhh I loved this haul so much! So many beautiful books and wonderful sounding comics 😍
Space Dumplins is SUPER CUTE. I read it in a day. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
+Shawnta Dodson Oh that is great to hear!
I need to start the Saga series, I have never owned/read a graphic novel so this would definitely be a good one to start on as I love sci-fi!
I love the Olympians series, and Kate Beaton is absolutely amazing. Hope you enjoy them!
+Rose Bueno She is making me laugh out loud :D can't wait to pick up her new collection of comic strips.

+topdogoldchap Ah yes! I have meant to check out the new Wonder Woman, thanks for the reminder ^_^.

Where did you pick up Dreadful Wind and Rain? I can't find it anywhere...
+books by leynes I got it from Gosh Comics in London who publish it :) www.goshlondon.com/product/dreadful-wind-and-rain/
The Olympians series sounds great. Have you read the Runaways comic series?
+A Deer In The Woods No I haven't but I have seen some good reviews, will have to remember that one.
It's my favourite. And it has a cast of great diverse characters as well which is great.
I just got the Harry Potter book for my nephews! I am so excited to introduce them to the wizarding world.
If you like more of the horror graphic novels I would suggest Through the Woods by Emily Carroll it is super visually stunning
I need to start the Saga series.
I like the selections, I might get the Harry Potter and those Olympians series looks interesting
LOVE Hark A Vagrant - it makes me laugh like nothing else. The snark!
+books and pieces I need her other book!
If you liked Wytches you should check out Nailbiters. Not as horror based, but just as creepy if not more.
+Francesca Scopelliti Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out ^_^
+Francesca Scopelliti I loved Nail Biter vol 1, and vol 2 was okay but could have been more suspenseful.
Have you heard about the graphic biography of Rosa Luxemburg? It's called red rosa and even tho I haven't read it yet it seems really good so I thought I'd tell you about it haha xx
+rrenatabp Ooh no but that sounds amazing, thanks for letting me know, I'm going to look at it now haha x
What did you end up thinking of Wytches? I was surprised that it was able to evoke such an emotional response from me.
+shemightbemonica No I agree! It was so vivid. I would love it if they did a second volume ^_^
+Jean Bookishthoughts Is it an ongoing series? Or a one shot? I have it here, but have yet to read it.

I'm dying to get the Harry Potter one, it looks so beautiful.
+Luana Segnini Oh it really really is!
I love Hark! A vagrant :) So funny!
+Angelicas Books I can't believe it took me so long to pick it up!
Would you do a get ready with me ? i love your hair and makeup in this video :)
One whole week I read a bunch of Image comics, and they are my new fave. Starting to not like Marvel and DC as much now.
You're like an older version of Caitlin Blackwood
unfortunately, i found wytches to be boring and not a fan of the art. i was flipping through the pages. i just donated it to my work place library.
now saga is on a whole different level.its the best out there
