The Black Island (Tintin)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Comics and Annuals
by: Herge

November 04, 2002
I do not really like the early Tintin adventures where there is a lot of slapstick and every other page our intrepid reporter hero is either holding a gun or having somebody hold a gun on him as much as I do the later adventures where the emphasize is on character humor and cultural details. However, "The Black Island" is certainly the epitome of this type of Tintin adventure. Hergé really pours it on pretty much from start to finish. This might be slapstick but it is nonstop slapstick from Tintin trying to stop the Thom(p)sons from arresting him to Snowy getting the better of a gorilla (but not a spider). Tintin might end up unconscious more often in this story than all of his other adventures combined. The beginning is simple enough. ... Read More:

The Secret of the Unicorn (The Adventures of Tintin)

First off, be forewarned that "The Secret of Unicorn" is only the first half of a two-part Tintin adventure, which is concluded in "Red Rackham's Treausre." So do not get all bent of shape when you get to the end of this 1943 adventure and Tintin looks out and you and tells you to find out what happens next in "Red Rackham's Treasure."

As our story opens, the Thompsons are trying to solve a rash of pockets being picked and Tintin decides to buy on impulse a model of an old galliard ship. But suddenly two other gentleman want to buy the model from Tintin, who refuses because he intends the model to be a gift to his friend, Captain Haddock. Then Tintin finds a small piece of parchment that was hidden in one of the masts talking about ... Read More:

Ouran High School Host Club Vol 9 (Ouran High School Host Club)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Comics and Annuals

I've been trying to find a new manga to take my interest lately (after the awesome Fruits Basket ruled my life) and stumbled across Ouran.

The basic plot is a Scholarship Student Haruhi attends prestigious Ouran Academy, normally home to offspring of the rich and famous.

One day Haruhi stumbles across the Ouran High School Host club who attend young ladies and entertaining them. Haruhi becomes in their debt and is forced to work as a Host to pay off the money owed.

This is a hilarious manga with twists, lots of lovely moments and guarenteed to entertain. If you like Hana Yori Dango,Hot Gimmick or Fruits Basket you should enjoy this awesome Shojo Manga!!!!!

I know I do ^^

Ultimate X-Men Volume 6 - Return of the King: Return of the King v. 6 (Ultimate X-Men)

After the dissapointment of "Ultimate War" this book really got me interested in the Ultimate X-Men story again. This is probably the best of the books since the first one. The reason for this is that the story gets itself back on track and each characters own story is given care and attention. The relationships between Magneto and Professor X and Wolverine & Cyclops are excellent. The artwork in this book is excellent as well. There was occassions in earlier books, particularly Ultimate War where I got confused as to whats happening. There are no problems of that sort with this one. All in all a great came back to form for the Ulitmate X-Men.

Asterix and the Big Fight (Asterix (Orion Hardcover))

I've positive memories of the Asterix series - which I raced through as a wee kid - and after having flicked through the modern printing of this adventure, having bought it for someone else, I can honestly say this is an ideal way to get reluctant kids started on reading if my own experience is anything to go by. You might also want to consider buying it for learners of English. There's abundant colour on each page, and the visual storyline will in most cases keep kids positively distracted. The print quality of the modern edition is better than what I remember it to be, which at times could leave a powdery feel across your fingers. I'm really thinking of the hardback compendiums here, but there are no problems with the current print run.
