Staff Picks

Dalene's Pick
This book is for serious Rockers! Aside from loving the in-depth content and colour photos there is a glossary full of fun new words to learn. The name for the part of a mountain that pokes through the ice is an Inuit word, Nanatak.

Sabrina's Pick
What happens when you and your grandparents go on a seniors’ cruise? In the second graphic novel of a series, Lucy volunteers to accompany her grandparents on a cruise and reflects on what happens when you become responsible for the care of aging loved ones. A quick read but a tender one.

Michael's Pick
The premise of Fables is simple: fairy tales are real, and the characters from them live in New York in secret after they were forced to flee their homeworlds due to an invasion. The series is super dark, not at all suitable for children, and is quite simply one of the greatest graphic novels/comics of all time.
Note: for any gamers out there, I highly recommend you first play The Wolf Among Us. It's a brilliant murder mystery that serves as a prequel to the series proper.

Michael's Pick
If you've read Fables vol. 1 (or played the prequel game, The Wolf Among Us), you know what you're in for: rich, dark takes on your favorite fairy tale characters (and some not-so-favorite ones - seriously, screw Goldilocks in this).
