“Verse is the sort of book you spend hours pouring over, even after the first read. Every single page is a visual delight – I lingered on every panel and relished every page-turn. Sam expertly crafts a sprawling world full of gripping characters and thrilling stakes that transported me to another dimension– it’s the kind of book I would have devoured as a teenager, and certainly still love now.” — Hannah Templer ― Artist – “Cosmoknights”

List your favorite graphic novels this year and why you like them.
Hari Conner released the final book in their webcomic series Finding Home this year and it remains one of my favourite series. It has absolutely gorgeous scenery and a really well-written slow-burn romance.
Another graphic novel that came out this year, that I really enjoyed was Poiko: Quests and Stuff by Brian Middleton (another book published by Wonderbound!). The story is sweet and gentle, perfect for younger readers.
