![]() ![]() ![]() The premise is focused on the Joker’s release from Arkham Asylum and is told in the perspective of new character, Jonny Frost. Written by Brian Azzarello (100 Bullets & Lex Luthor: Man Of Steel) and art by Lee Bermejo (100 Bullets). Hola Creeps, a couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of reading Joker, the new graphic novel from DC Comics. But friend of the Dead Pixels Podcast, SuperRadMike, told me otherwise and was great enough to write a review to shed some light. Released solely as a graphic novel, I did not really notice this and took it at face value and DC trying to turn a quick buck. Luckily DC comics did not do this, but in October they did release one in a similar vein, Brian Azzarello’s Joker. After the amazing success of the Dark Knight movie, I was expecting the comic world to be flooded with stories about Heath Ledger-esque Jokers and a saturation of the market to make me cry. ![]()

Inspired by Wright’s idealism, the staunchly abolitionist Trollope was looking forward to seeing the stereotypical America: a land of opportunity, where “noble-minded, progressive, and kind-hearted liberals lived in a veritable Elysium.” But once there, both Trollope and Hervieu were deeply disappointed by the Commune’s primitive conditions – neither expected that it would be basically a peasant farming community located in the marshy, mosquito-saturated swamp. Hervieu was originally going to be a drawing instructor there. Their intended destination was Nashoba Commune, a utopian settlement for ex-slaves set up by the reformer Frances Wright in Tennessee. Also accompanying her was the young French illustrator Auguste Hervieu. Trollope sailed for America in 1827 with three of her children. Published in 1832 in two volumes, Domestic Manners of the Americans was a runaway bestseller and a wildly controversial takedown of what Trollope saw as a backward, uncouth, and hypocritical new nation. Her literary career began out of financial desperation when she wrote a travelogue describing her impressions of America, gathered on a three-year excursion there. ![]() Frances Trollope, today best known as the mother of the prolific and hugely popular Victorian author Anthony Trollope, was herself an extraordinarily productive writer in many genres. ![]() ![]() So I called someone to go there for me and take the cashier check in a rush of time.

The Report Card is a children's novel by Andrew Clements, first published in 2004. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It has a simple story, easy characters to understand, is fairly episodic, and the artwork is good. Not only that, but this would easily be my first pick when introducing new readers to yokai fantasy. It doesn't matter that I've read series that are better than this with more complex and interesting characters, I still love this series and am excited to read the next volume. Hell, Natsume and Nyanko-sensei are characters I hold dear to my heart, and neither are anywhere CLOSE to Yato and Yukine or Kuro and Kotoko in terms of emotional depth and development. I discovered this after thinking about how, while it's not even close to Noragami's level of worldbuilding or In/Spectre's level of yokai knowledge, it's still a fun and engaging series to read. Something I really want to discuss is what I think is this series's biggest strength-it's a great introduction to yokai fantasy (if that's a thing) but it's also a great yokai fantasy for seasoned fans of the subgenre (like me). It was fucking adorable and yes, I did vomit rainbows afterwards, don't judge me. Despite the snoozefest that was the short story, I'm definitely giving this volume five stars for the tense arc regarding Matoba and the adorable story where Natsume and his yokai friends play tag. ![]() ![]() ![]() SpaceNext50 Britannica presents SpaceNext50, From the race to the Moon to space stewardship, we explore a wide range of subjects that feed our curiosity about space!.Learn about the major environmental problems facing our planet and what can be done about them!
