Why do comics pros like @jamesthefourth.bsky.social at Tiny Onion make such an effort to be at library conferences? Harley says it’s because they know #comics and #libraries belong together. 📚 Another Comics Librarian Podcast drops Thursday

I went to Guelph today for Comics Jam and found @ootslibrary.bsky.social which is a cute little library that uses @librarycat.org as its ILS! Kind of awesome that in Ontario you can just start a nonprofit and open a library, I don’t think that’s allowed in Ohio 📚

The Dog Knight by @jeremywhitley.bsky.social and @breindigo.bsky.social is the “dumbest” book to be banned, but not because it’s dumb. Republicans banned a cute book about dogs because they hate NB people so much. Just a couple more sleeps till a new Comics Librarian Podcast 📚

Do #comics for adults belong in the library? Of course they do, #libraries are for all ages. But don't believe the lies; there is not adult content in CHILDREN'S SECTIONS. @richardfairgray.bsky.social and I discuss wherever podcasts are available youtu.be/JV-6107BMhY...

My @ala-booklist.bsky.social review of DOCTOR STRANGE: ENDLESS NIGHTMARE by Kevin J. Anderson, Raul Allen and Patricia Marten is now available 📚 www.booklistonline.com/products/982...

MARVEL-ARTS

STRANGE
ENOLES NICHTMARE KEVIN J ANDERSON, RAÚL ALLEN& PATRICIA MARTÍN
MARVEL
DE MARYCU

This latest entry in the Marvel Arts line of original graphic novels takes the reader on a colorful and swirling trip into the dreamscape.
Anderson (Dune: House Atreides), Allén (Ocean Wide, Ocean Deep), and Martín (Wonder Woman) deliver an original Doctor Strange story, which begins on a seemingly normal night that turns deadly when New York City is assaulted by strange entities. These entities seem to be the stuff of nightmares and are connected to a comatose John Doe, and it's up to Strange to learn what the connection is, how to stop the attacks, and how to help New Yorkers get back to sleep. The story here is a pretty standard Doctor Strange plot, and it will be fairly welcoming for readers looking for an inviting entry point. The real treat is the art, which includes plenty of wild, vivid imagery, mesmerizing splash pages, and unique panel layouts that teens and adults will enjoy for swift reading. Hand to fans of the MCU who are looking for a visually engrossing story.

Comic-Con as professional development? 👀 Librarians and educators are finding untapped value in the convention floor. More days, more impact, because it’s been so successful. Would you ever go to Comic-Con for work? #ComicCon #Libraries #Education #ProfessionalDevelopment #comics 📚
