Title: Branded

Author: Abi Ketner & Missy Kalicicki

Publisher: Month9Books

Pub. Date: July 19, 2016

Fifty years ago The Commander came into power and murdered all who opposed him. In his warped mind, the seven deadly sins were the downfall of society.

To punish the guilty, he created the Hole, a place where sinners are branded according to their sins. Sinners are forced to live a less than human existence in deplorable conditions, under the watchful eye of guards who are ready to kill anyone who steps out of line.

Now, LUST wraps around my neck like thick, blue fingers, threatening to choke the life out of me. I’ve been accused of a crime I didn’t commit, and the Hole is my new home.

Constant darkness.

Brutal and savage violence.

Excruciating pain.

Every day is a fight for survival.

But I won’t let them win. I will not die in the Hole.

I am more than my brand. I’m a fighter.

My name is Lexi Hamilton, and this is my story.

Title: Hunted

Author: Abi Ketner & Missy Kalicicki

Publisher: Month9Books

Pub. Date: April 19, 2016

Find it: Amazon | Goodreads

It’s been three months since the revolt against the Commander’s fifty-year-old regime failed.  Under a new ruler, things were supposed to change. Get better. Now, Wilson is in charge. But, can he really be trusted? Can anyone?

Lexi and Cole soon find out, as life takes an unexpected turn for the worse.

In this ever-changing world, you must hunt or be hunted. Many more lives will be lost. Many more

dreams will be crushed. Many more fears will be realized.

When Cole is once again faced with losing Lexi at the hands of a monster, one capture will change everything. Forever. 

Hunted is the electrifying sequel to the bestselling debut Branded, A Sinners Series, by Abi Ketner and Missy Kalicicki.

Abi and Missy met in the summer of 1999 at college orientation and have been best friends ever since. After college, they added jobs, husbands and kids to their lives, but they still found time for their friendship. Instead of hanging out on weekends, they went to dinner once a month and reviewed books. What started out as an enjoyable hobby has now become an incredible adventure.

Zaya by Jean-David Morvan & Huang-Jia Wei - Ashley's Review

*I received this book as an eARC from Diamond Book Distributors/Magnetic Press on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*

Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Goodreads

Title: Zaya
Contributors: Jean-David Morvan, Huang-Jia Wei (Illustrator), Mike Kennedy (Translator)
Publication Date: August 26, 2014

Paul's Review

Synopsis: Zaya tells the story of secret agent in the distant future who left her post to seek a normal
life as an artist and mother. 

When a biomechanical threat destroys an orbiting colony station and former fellow agents start dying, she is called back into the field to find and stop the danger. 

Her investigation leads to many questions about her own past, filled with explosive revelations.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Review: I really enjoyed Naja, also by Jean-David Morvan, so I was really looking forward to reading Zaya. I was hoping for an exciting, multi-layered, sci-fi adventure, and that's pretty much what I got! There were a few things that didn't work for me, and a couple of times when things got really weird, but for the most part I thoroughly enjoyed this graphic novel.

I think the basis of this story is very interesting. An ex-spy has settled down and is now the mother to twins. But in order to save the world, she has to go back in the field and risk everything she's worked so hard to build. The plot progressed predictably at first, and I felt like it was dragging for at least the first half. But then things get real weird and there are twists that I did not see coming at all! They hooked me, and kept me wanting more as I read on.

I really loved the artwork in this graphic novel. The art speaks for itself, and there are several passages when there's no dialogue at all and we get to see glimpses of Zaya's past go by almost like a photo album. Since the dialogue often didn't help progress the story as much as I would have liked, I really enjoyed these moments and thought they added quite a bit to the comic as a whole.

Zaya is a strong, independent, and sexy woman. She has some revealing outfits, but her spy gear and working outfits are sensible and not as ridiculous as many of the outfits women in comic books wear. It was a nice change of pace! There's still enough mature content that I'd say a younger crowd should probably not read this one, even though it is toned down quite a bit from something like, say, Well. This is an interesting comic, and I'll be looking for more of Jean-David's works in the future. 3/5!
