Great inspiration for all Africans, as the author tells us, and all youngsters with aspirations to do good. And not apologizing for their efforts or their successes.
Captivatingly told in vibrant colors.

The big subject of loss is rendered in a minimalistic way. Short, slow bursts of thoughts.
I can imagine the language being pregnant and full of meaning in Korean (you can see remnants of it all over) but the translation and editorial work spoils the tension and grandeur.

The facts in this piece of history is well presented and well narrated in the first-person view. You get to know both the people and the world where they fight for fundamental rights.
The writing is of a journalistical sort and therefore informative but lacking in style.

Journalism presented in comic book form can be really powerful (think MAUS) and this testimony from the Balkan wars, specifically the situation in the UN free zone Gorazde, is a good example of how to do it.
A bit stiff at the beginning perhaps, a bit slow you might say, but as the interviewed people tell more about their experiences the more you really don’t want to hear. It’s gut wrenching at times, and the feeling sticks.

Snappy, if you can use that word in this context, and short chapters that give both an overview and turn directly to different professions.

A huge book, in size as well as content. In a wonderfully composed way are we led by the hand through forty years of swedish role playing culture in the form of Drakar & Demoner, Dragonbane in english.
Every thinkable aspect are accounted for. Every single product with the brand name is represented; the backside text ready to lure us in again. The artists are very well presented as well; their work has never looked crisper.
A true delight to take you away on both nostalgic travels and pushes you to the game anew.

A great introduction to table-top role playing for a young audience. Simple, and few, rules makes for an easy start. All is set up for the children playing to be able to take up the role as DM without to much problem, and without an adult.
You have a great advantage if you have read the books sat in this fictional world beforehand, which can be either good or bad.

Good take on superheroes with different problems in their everyday struggle. A bit repetitive and the villains on the weak side.
