One of the great things we learned when we attended the AASL Conference in Columbus was the importance of peer and preferred publication reviews for librarians and teachers. These reviews are vital to helping education purchasers pick great books for their kids and getting those purchase requests approved by their respective institutions.

For the convenience of our education professionals and for comics creators who want to learn what these types of reviews look like, we have included our most recent reviews:

Academic/Literary

Voice of Youth Advocates Review

Reading this series reminded me of my love for Greco/Roman and Norse mythology, with the same flawed heroes and antagonists in a magical, mystical world. Palas’s art is dynamic and expressive and makes the story come alive; Andrew Dalhouses’s rich colors make great use of light and dark to indicate place and time.

Library Journal Review

Verdict This lively saga is solid entertainment for teens and adults who like urban superheroics with an occult fantasy vibe.—Martha Cornog, Philadelphia

Midwest Book Review

This three volume saga is an absolutely absorbing read that combines heroic fantasy with a compelling series of unexpected plot twists and surprising turns.
