Nice Addition to the Story
Not my favorite of the canon graphic novels but I enjoyed parts of it. Loved seeing the little bit of Luke that we got.

Ugh I loved it and now I can’t wait to go back to Galaxy’s Edge. Please tell me we get more.
A lot of awful people do a lot of awful things to a lot of nice people - and I flew through this trying to uncover the truth!
Give me more stories from the POV of villains being thrown heroes of their own story.
Having just rewatched the OT, it was a treat to see the villains in action.
Star Wars: Age of Republic - Villains
Java Tartaglia, Jody Houser, Dono Sánchez-Almara, Luke Ross, Carlos Gómez
I just said I wanted a Grievous side story and here we are...
I absolutely loved Marieke’s This is Where It Ends and Before I Let Go, two complex and heart wrenching stories, so I couldn’t wait to see what she did with Barbara Gordon!
Babs Gordon has long been one of my fav heroes, no matter what iteration she’s in. In The Oracle Code, Barbara has entered The Arkham Center of Independence after an incident that leads her to become a wheelchair user. For those of you who may be unfamiliar with Barbara’s story (depending on the version you know), Barbara transforms from Batgirl to Oracle following her
Babs Gordon has long been one of my fav heroes, no matter what iteration she’s in. In The Oracle Code, Barbara has entered The Arkham Center of Independence after an incident that leads her to become a wheelchair user. For those of you who may be unfamiliar with Barbara’s story (depending on the version you know), Barbara transforms from Batgirl to Oracle following an attack that leaves her unable to walk. I love that she becomes this badass hero in other ways without question.
What The Oracle Code does is take a story that is often viewed as tragedy and give life to it through new characters. This is a story about agency as much as it’s a story about trauma. Babs is working through her stuff as she’s working through the mystery presented in the story.
As is the norm with DC Graphic Novels for Young Adults, the art is stunning. The color is cool toned and the shading adds depth. Foreground characters are strong, drawing your eye to them. The use of two-page spreads and overall placement of panels tells a bit part of the story, as well.
Another stunning and unique take on a classic story, told outside canon and set wholly on it’s own. The Oracle Code is not to be missed!

What is this wet stuff coming from my eyes and how did a book about basketball cause that?!
Gene, you dang master.
Gene Luen Yang is dang brilliant and Dragon Hoops is a story for fans of basketball…or not! A non-fiction and personal story, Dragon Hoops left me, a non-basketball fan, in tears.
Part memoir, part biography, Dragon Hoops is equally Gene’s story and the story of the Dragons, the basketball team at the high school he taught at. It’s a multi-generational tale, sharing “current” players, players-turned-coaches, historic coaches, and even some basketball history. He explores racism and sexism in the sport. Gene even shares pieces of his entire family.
As a person who lives in the town next to where the Dragons play, it was hard to avoid googling how things turned out. I cheered for this team and was sullen when they lost. I was angry with certain adults and tried understanding unfamiliar methods for others. I’d be lying if I didn’t google where the featured players are now.
I laughed. I cried. I cheered. I worried. I FELT A LOT OF THINGS. Well done.
