🍂 Friday Reviews Week 7:
October 14th- 20th, 2017 🍂
This has been the week of graphic novels. I have started other books but here are the ones that I finished.
🍁 Book 1: Star Wars- Tag & Bink Were Here 🍁
by Kevin Rubio and Lucas Marrangon
Read October 16th, 2017
📚📚📚📚
A parody of the first six Star Wars movies. We follow along Tag and Bink as they traverse the galaxy. It starts with them minding their own business on Princess Leia's ship until the ship gets boarded by Darth Vader and the stormtroopers. Instead of dying they choose to borrow the armor of a pair of dead stormtroopers and their adventures really begin.
This book chronicles their adventures as we see many of the scenes from the Star Wars movies 4-6 and then 1-3. I enjoyed how this book basically makes Tag and Bink the reason why many of the events happen. For instance, Anakin's horrible love dialogue in Attack of the Clones, that's their fault.
This bind-up is a humorous take on the Star Wars movies that I enjoyed. I have heard of Tag and Bink previously and I was glad to have the chance to read their stories.

🍁 Book 2: Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Tales 🍁
by Joss Whedon, Amber Benson, Jane Espenson,
Sam Loeb, Doug Petrie, etc.
Read October 18th-19th, 2017
📚📚📚
I went into this volume expecting it to have more tales about Buffy and her gang. There were a couple but most were on other slayers from the past and also vampires. Many of the tales in this book were interesting and each had their own specific art style. Some of the art styles were great and then others were not as great for me.
My favorite tales from this bind-up are
"Numb"- which dealt with some of Angel's struggles as a vampire with a soul.
"Spot the Vampire"- this shows an image and then shows each person and you are meant to pick out who the vampire is. It was cute with the rhymes which made it feel like a Dr. Seuss story. Also, the illustrations were beautiful.
Tales of the Slayers: "Broken Bottle of Djinn"- This was a story set in Buffy's time period and had very cute illustrations. It's just a classic Buffy style mission. Buffy is trying to live through a normal day in high school, in this case, a Chem lab, and then she has to save the day from a demon attacking the school. It's cute short read that I loved.
I did like some of the other stories but they were not as good as the ones that I mentioned above. I did like that we got to learn about many of the previous slayers back from the first slayer. Altogether this is a good collection of short graphic stories set in the Buffy universe.

🍁 Book 3: Lumberjanes Volume 1: 🍁
Beware the Kitten Holy
Beware the Kitten Holy
Issues 1-4
by Noelle Stevenson, Shannon Watters,
Grace Ellis, and Brooke A. Allen
Read October 19-20th, 2017
📚📚📚📚
Lumberjanes is about a group of five girls that go to Miss Qiunzilla Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet's Camp for hard-core lady-types. This camp is not what it seems though. In this first volume, we see yetis, three-eyed foxes, talking statues, secret caves, and anagrams that the girls have to figure out. Our main characters are young teen girls, Jo, April, Mal, Molly, and Ripley, who share a cabin together. These four issues chronicle the adventures of the girls as they try to enjoy camp together but also explore what is going on around them.
This graphic novel deals with a lot of supernatural creatures that the girls keep witnessing. The mystery that keeps expanding as the issues continue is intriguing to read about. The girls make a point of saying that the camp is more than they expected. I really love how the girls have to use what they have learned to get out of their troubles. Their friendship is the best part of this series and how they actually work together. It will be great to see how their friendship evolves more over the course of the series. My favorite issue so far has been issue three.
Issue 1: 📚📚📚📚
Issue 2: 📚📚📚📚
Issue 3: 📚📚📚📚📚
Issue 4: 📚📚📚📚
I will be continuing on with the series and I cannot wait to see what will happen next.
