We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
This is one graphic novel that libraries will want to put in their graphic novel collections. Everyone knows how much young women are reading P.C. Cast’s House of Night series. Now you can get a story in graphic novel form. Thanks to darkhorsecomics and YouTube for the following trailer:
Dark Horse Comics will be publishing The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia Encyclopedia. It is scheduled for release on January 16, 2013.

Dark Horse Comics has been adapting Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan’s, New York Times Bestselling Strain Trilogy, written by David Lapham and art by Mike Huddleston. The first Volume of the comic book adaptation, issues 1-6, will be available November 2012. This title I have not personally read, but with the nature of the book being in the Horror genre, I would say this will be more suitable for your patrons that are 16 and up. Have your purchasing agents mark their calenders if you want to add this to your graphic novel collection.
