for the most part easy to map by the people who are around you. Similarly, for Barbara in the graphic novel I Kill Giants, she is illustrated by JM Ken Nimura to have, in almost every panel of the book, either some different animal ears or a quirky hat that suits the personality crafted by Joe Kelly perfectly. Some might say this was just an unrelated artistic choice, but it means so much more than that-- with each change in the ears, it reflects how Barbara reacts to the events of the story.…

Besides waking up to find a clear cookie plate confirming that Santa has been there, it is every child's dream to wake up on Christmas morning to be accompanied by an adorable pet that they would grow to love and protect. Every year, my sister and I get clothes and toys that eventually we manage to outgrow,…
