Review Index, April - June 2009
July 1, 2009
Dinosaurs with garlic breath. Surgeons with attitude. Crime-fighting kids. Crime-fighting flies. Recycled super robots -- these are just a few of the characters we've encountered this spring. Below, you'll find the complete list of titles we reviewed last quarter, an index that's divided into three broad categories: Comics (essentially, the titles you'd find on the spinner rack at your local comic book store), Graphic Novels, and Manga. We encourage you to follow the links, read the reviews, and give us feedback on our recommendations, especially if the kids and teens in your life beg to differ with us.
N.B. Age guidelines and publication information (author, full title, publisher, price, ISBN) are included in every review.
