Tess’ Teen Graphic Novel Highlights

Since it’s coming up to Halloween I’m chuffed to have found ‘An Unkindness of Ravens‘ by Dan Panosian – the perfect crossover of ‘The Craft’ and ‘Sabrina’. Witch covens, high-school cliques, and family secrets abound in this spooky new graphic novel.

‘Mech Cadet Yu‘ is another great find – somewhere between ‘Ender’s Game’ and ‘Pacific Rim’, this graphic novel will slake your sci-fi action thirst. Elite kids are trained up so that once a year, when the robot guardians visit earth, they can pair with one to become a defender. Yu is the son of the janitor and doesn’t believe he has a chance at being a hero – until, against all odds, he’s chosen by one of the giant sentient robots in a move that will change his fate.

‘Gunland‘ is probably going to be a graphic novel for the ages – definitely for 16+ due to the bloodier battles, this chunky adventure is everything you’d hope for in a sci-fi western with dinosaurs. Not as silly as it sounds, this graphic novel is not for the faint of heart as you follow one gun-wielding orphan child through the dusty straits of a parallel dimension as they’re chased by bounty hunters.
