What Are You Reading? March 2021

03/03/202102/03/2021 Duane Weatherall Leave a comment

Continuing from last month and being serious about trying to make this a regular feature, here’s the second instalment of “What Are You Reading?”. Not only is it a good way for me to hopefully engage with you guys, but it also gives me a bit of space to talk about books I may not […]

Rogue Planet – Cullen Bunn, Andy MacDonald, Nick Filardi

02/12/202002/12/2020 Duane Weatherall Leave a comment

When the heavily in debt crew of the salvage vessel happen upon a distress beacon coming from the planet “Lonely Orphan” which has no solar system to call home, things don’t work out the way they hoped in this sci-fi horror comic from Oni Press. The book opens up aboard the Cortes as the crew […]

My Riot – Rick Spears, Emmett Helen

22/07/202021/07/2020 Duane Weatherall 2 Comments

Young Adult novels, and in this case, comics, tend to follow a similar formula (or at least from my experience they do): Young girl challenges the norms of her society in order to discover herself. My Riot is no different in that respect, however rather than settle for a dystopian future setting, we go way […]

Odessa – Jonathan Hill

15/07/202015/07/2020 Duane Weatherall Leave a comment

Odessa, like last week’s Eden, leaves me in a difficult spot, it’s enjoyable but largely forgettable. It tells the story of an America that’s literally been torn in two by an earthquake, and within that is the story of a family in search of their Mother, though things end in this volume before they find […]

Guantanamo Voices: True Accounts from the World’s Most Infamous Prison – Sarah Mirk

17/06/202017/06/2020 Duane Weatherall Leave a comment

Something like Guantanamo Voices is a difficult thing to review, much like Art Spiegelman’s “Maus”, it exists as a documentation of the horrors that humans can carry out on each other, like Maus, it’s not intended to be “enjoyed”, its there to educate, using a medium that many (wrongly) associate with being juvenile, and thus […]

Why are we still talking about comics as a genre?

24/05/202023/05/2020 Duane Weatherall 1 Comment

A few weeks back I happened across a typical lockdown/buzzfeed style article, wherein the author discusses a list of things that popular opinion dictactes you should check out. In this the author lists five Graphic Novels that they believe everyone should read (Watchmen, Maus, Ghost World, Jimmy Corrigan the Smartest Kid in the World, Fun […]

Asterix in Britain – René Goscinny & Albert Uderzo

01/04/202019/04/2020 Duane Weatherall 1 Comment

When Close Encounters posted on the Books With Pictures Facebook group page that we were going to be reading an Asterix book, I’m not going to lie, I had two thoughts, the first was “but isn’t that a kids book”, then it was “wow, I’ve not read one of those since Year 8” and it […]

The Colony – Nicolas Debon

15/03/202021/04/2020 Duane Weatherall Leave a comment

When we think of Anarchism in the world of comics (or graphic novels, whichever you prefer), we often turn to Alan Moore’s “V for Vendetta” and tales of attempts to overthrow those in power due to corruption, however, theres actually alot more to the ideals behind anarchism than explosions, aggression and sticking ones finger up […]

We3 – Grant Morrison, Frank Quitely

22/01/202019/04/2020 Duane Weatherall

This month’s Books WITH Pictures pick was We3 by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely through Vertigo. It’s a book I’ll honestly admit I’ve never even heard of so my expectations going in were all over the place, especially as I flicked through it on the bus home before I sat down to read through it […]

Akira Volume 1 – Katsuhiro Otomo

22/11/201920/04/2020 Duane Weatherall Leave a comment

Way back in July I wrote about the reasons I was glad that the Hollywood movie of Akira had been put on hold (though it’s still in the works), this time out I’m taking a direct look at volume 1 of Katsuhiro Otomo’s manga as its the book we’ve discussed in “Books with Pictures” this […]
