Treadwater: Part Two is a high-tech science fiction graphic novel written by Morgan Rosenblum and Nat Prinzi, and illustrated by Mingchen Shen. The Treadwater team had fulfilled their part of the arrangement made with Wolfgang Kulikov, the brother-in-law (and second in command) of fascist General Kirklau of fascist General Heinz Kulikov. He had offered to give Treadwater information about Kirklau’s second stolen nuclear warhead if they snatched his nephew from Kulikov’s compound. After Kostya was delivered to their headquarters, Wolfgang admitted that there really wasn’t a second warhead. The team was finally persuaded to believe him but only after they extensively tortured him. Kostya was furious at his abduction, believing firmly in his father’s program. Meanwhile, there were terrorists afoot who were planning a worldwide attack with a deadly pathogen and General Heinz Kulikov has developed a trio of virtually unstoppable mechanized war machines. Can the team get past their internal strife and rivalries, and work together to stop these threats?
Morgan Rosenblum and Nat Prinzi’s high-tech science fiction graphic novel, Treadwater: Part Two, is a fast-paced and exciting thriller. While it is the second book in the series, the authors not only give a concise and informative summation of the first book, they also include a link for a free copy of that first volume. I had a marvelous time reading this graphic novel. It gave me the same feelings of exhilaration I felt when I was a kid reading my first superhero comic books. Mingchen Shen’s illustrations are masterful; you can see and feel the icy wastes of the opening panels, which cleverly morph into the team’s efforts to confirm the veracity of Wolfgang Kulikov’s statement. I particularly enjoyed the historical side stories that add depth and intensity to the main plot as well as the development of the characters of Wolfgang and the Treadwater team. Treadwater: Part Two is impossible to put down, and you definitely won’t want to rush through this amazing graphic novel. Take your time and enjoy the story and artwork -- it’s all top-notch. Treadwater: Part Two is most highly recommended.

Jake Falcón: Spirit Hunter is a paranormal graphic novel written by Victor M. Carrión and illustrated by Felix Carrión. Jake lived fast and loose. He was brutal in business and blithely disregarded the thoughts and feelings of those he came in contact with. When his embezzlement scheme went south, he left his partner holding the bag for it. Granted, he didn’t expect the man to throw himself out of a window and crash-land on a car, but he argued to himself that no one forced Lawrence to do it. Jake forestalled Police Detective Jennie Davis’ questions, promising to come into the precinct the next day, but he never did make it there. The accident he was in while driving late that night had somewhat permanent repercussions. Jake didn’t feel dead, but all the protestations he made to the police officer who arrived on the accident scene fell on deaf ears. He seemed to be out of body and was horrified to see himself still at the wheel, unmoving -- and there was nothing he could do to make that body in the front seat return to the living. In the days to come, he became a Spirit Hunter, an unwilling resident of a dark and tormented middle plane where he’d stay until he found redemption.
Victor M. Carrión’s paranormal graphic novel, Jake Falcón: Spirit Hunter, is a dark and gritty tale filled with harsh images, looming demons and a tortured anti-hero the reader can’t help but alternately despise and admire. Felix Carrión’s black and white illustrations masterfully reflect the dark visions of the story; each panel is evocative and profound, adding motion, pathos and a masterful collection of human expressions. I loved the flashback that Victor Carrión includes which gives some insights to the man Jake becomes, and the scenes which take place in the sanctuary for his fellow souls in transition are moving and powerful. I’m hoping the Carrións produce a sequel to this engrossing and original graphic novel. Jake Falcón: Spirit Hunter is most highly recommended.

“I hope this book makes at least a small contribution to accurately publicizing the true nature of the young successor, of whom little is known.” Ha Tae Keung.
The Great Successor - Kim Jong Un: A Political Cartoon is a comic book detailing the succession to power of the present North Korea leader, written by Ha Tae Keung, president of Open Radio for North Korea, which broadcasts educational, cultural and personal message programming into North Korea. This book is illustrated by artist Choi Byeong Seon, a researcher at the Global Artists Association and a director of the Korea Cartoonists Association.
Perhaps this is the most serious and thought-provoking comic book that I’ve ever read. Reading or listening to any news about the self-isolated North Korea is sporadic at best. This book gives us insight into the North Korea dictator’s past, present, and the sentiments towards him and his ruling. Readers will also learn about Jong Un’s half older brother, Kim Jong Nam, who was once widely considered to be the next leader of North Korea. Jong Nam’s capitalist nature and his desire for reformation of the country, however, were opposed by his father. His much-publicized botched attempt to secretly enter Japan using a fake passport and visit Tokyo Disneyland in 2001 was his ultimate downfall with his father and North Korea’s elite.
The illustrated feelings of the North and South Koreans regarding the succession give us a rare and informative glimpse into this particular event. All in all, this is a great read and ultimately, the North Koreans are hoping for a better future. Hopefully that day will come soon.

Reviewed by Kim Anisi for Readers' Favorite
Freedom Within The Heart by Mark Mahon is the story of the Viking invasion of Ireland, and how the Irish clans dealt with that rather unpleasant visit. Mahoun and his brother Brian Boru are the centre of the story, and of course Brian is the hero of the title. And he is indeed a historical figure of Irish history. So this comic is not only entertaining but also a good way to get people interested in that part of history. It's a different kind of historical fiction, and of course has a bit of folklore mixed in.
Apparently, the story behind Freedom Within The Heart by Mark Mahon will be turned into a movie, and I can imagine how this would work quite well. It all starts with the childhood of the two brothers who witness how their parents are brutally murdered by the invading Vikings. That experience leads to them growing into men that will play a vital role in the fight against the invaders. The story is full of action and a fair amount of violence, but it also does not lack moments of emotion and drama and some fun. I thoroughly enjoyed reading page after page, and it taught me something about Irish history that I did not know. I am sure that this kind of format would also be quite valuable to older students for history classes (as traditional history books can be so off-putting).

The year is 2025, and five families have set off on a six-month journey in the space exploration vessel - Faith - to colonize a planet in Alpha Centauri. Their colony, called Hope and situated on the continent of New Tennessee, is to be a place where unconditional love is the rule and families are free to worship God as they please. This Utopian world, complete with heroic children and breathtaking adventures, has been deftly fashioned by Richard Collins into a series of graphic novels for young readers under the series title Raegan and RJ in Space.
Celebration at Alpha Centauri is a fast-paced and utterly engaging space exploration adventure for young readers. Richard Collins has wisely partnered the text with a complementary series of charts, diagrams, and appendices offering real space/science factoids and supporting information to make Raegan and RJ’s world even more interesting and meaningful for young readers. It is hard to believe, at times, that such a rich, varied, and detailed world could spring so vividly from the page with only text bubbles and simple illustrations to carry it forward, but there it is, right before our eyes and spreading out like an infinite array of promising tomorrows.
Celebration at Alpha Centauri: Raegan and RJ in Space by Richard Collins is an imaginative and beguiling science fiction graphic novel, sure to captivate young readers and perfect for home or church youth group study.

Treadwater is a science fiction graphic novel created by Morgan Rosenblum. The title of the story refers to a select group of freedom fighters in a dystopian version of our own contemporary world. After a global economic collapse, countries of the globe turn inwards to protect themselves, closing their borders to foreigners against the threat of war, particularly as some leaders take it upon themselves to steal and stockpile weapons, allegedly in their own nation’s defence. Led by the charismatic and emotionally damaged Joe, Treadwater is a multi-ethnic and multi-skilled team of talented individuals who undertake thrilling missions to defuse threats of war and desolation before they happen. Along with a series of superb and mind-bending new technologies, the team’s own determination is all that stands between the planet and its own destruction.
Morgan Rosenblum has produced a darkly brilliant graphic novel. Treadwater has everything you’d expect and want in this genre, rebranding some classic superhero archetypes in a gritty, urban world sent into a tailspin by the kinds of threats that are realistic to our own contemporary lives. The art, which I can only describe as an almost photographic watercolour style, brings to life incredible moments of action, but also fiercely emotional scenes, particularly from our central character Joe. The plot and dialogue are edgy and slick, and I found that the more I read, the less I wanted the novel to end. Overall, I’d say Treadwater is a must-read for graphic novel fans looking for an accomplished and flawless new fix.

Raegan and RJ Save the Day: Raegan and RJ in Space, written by Richard Collins and Illustrated by Jennifer Lusong, is an intriguing graphic novel and vividly colorful comic. This book provides an introduction into the realm of Christians living in space. The book also offers educational insight into the future of space travel and habitation. Readers are instantly attracted to colorful pictures and situations or happenstances that may seem impossible. The author teaches readers to use their imaginations and enter into a futuristic world of space living. For example: our society has already accomplished so much with its technology, gadgets, satellites, space travel, rockets, space vehicles, so why not envision a space station, where we inhabit residences with similar living and recreational spaces to Earth. The author portrays a Christian living lifestyle by creating a scenario in which an act of kindness outweighs the possibilities of potential self danger.
The graphic novel/comic can be used by teachers and parents to read to children and enjoy. The concept of space living and space travel as a norm allows readers to enter into a creative mindset where there are no limitations to what we can create with technology. The Christian aspects within the book allow readers to imagine a world filled with advanced technology and a great deal of human kindness and selflessness. This book is entertaining and creative for those who think "outside the box."
