From the New York Times bestselling author of One Last Stop and Red, White & Royal Blue comes a debut YA romantic comedy about chasing down what you want, only to find what you need.Ĭhloe Green is so close to winning. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It was only a minor set back to discover that the weekly comic had long gone – it only lasted for 101 issues between 1978 – 1980 so I was too late for that feast of the macabre. I think what I loved most was that the stories didn’t peddle the line that there was always a happy ending…things often ended badly for the heroines of Misty stories. Not only did the comics have weekly serials, one-off stories, but they also had short stories and factual articles about the supernatural and quirky historical facts – so the proto-history geek in me was also happy. I couldn’t believe that someone had thrown them out and they had ended up at school – I mean as soon as I saw them they were major ‘objects of desire’ to me – how they never found their way home with me I will never know! Leafing through those discarded comics I was immediately hooked – I mean these comics were just what I had been looking for as a proto-gothy 10 year old. ![]() ![]() It was a rainy day at school and play-time had been cancelled, everyone was left kicking their heels in the classroom. I first found Misty not so much in a Cavern of Dreams, but in a box of old Beano comics. As a child I was always fascinated by the more shadowy things of this world, the more mysterious and less fluffy and pink the better. Misty, a Fleetway Annual produced by IPC Magazines, was a very unusual thing – a supernatural horror comic aimed at young girls. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() From stabbing him with a cake fork, to garrotting him with his expensive tie, Dylan has thought of everything.However, a chance encounter opens his eyes to the attraction that has always lain between them, concealed by the layers of antipathy.

Readers who are unfamiliar with what being gender fluid means (or means to one person) will walk away with a pretty complex picture of this identity. We read the term “gender fluid” over and over again as we learn exactly what that means to Riley. That fact is at the heart of every piece of this plot. This is 100% the story of a gender fluid teen. Well, that extremely thorough summary up there really hits most of the main pieces of this story. From debut author Jeff Garvin comes a powerful and uplifting portrait of a modern teen struggling with high school, relationships, and what it means to be a person. ![]() ![]() The Salvare is capable of faster-than-light (FTL) travel, and carries most of its crew asleep in hibernation pods ( soma on the show), to be awakened when needed.Ĭast and characters Main Meanwhile, Wallace's wife, veteran Captain Niko Breckinridge, takes the spaceship Salvare (meaning 'to save' in Latin) and its young crew to determine the origin of the artifact and establish contact with the aliens who sent it. ![]() Erik Wallace, a scientist employed by the United States Interstellar Command (USIC), attempts to communicate with the alien structure.

So, in light of the imminent release of Audible’s audio adaptation of the series, I felt it a good time to go back to those first few volumes (those that are being adapted for the series) and take a look at how they read seven years after I first read them. It’s one of those series that has remained popular over the 30 years since it first debuted – and for good reason. The series is as much a story about Morpheus, the Lord of Dreams, and his other siblings as it is about stories, themselves. It felt like this beautiful mixture of traditional prose literature and graphic novels and it was something I hadn’t seen in any of the comics I’d read to that point. ![]() ![]() From the first time I read Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman in 2013, I adored the series. ![]() |
