Praise for one more CASTLE: GRIMOIRE

“Wheeler delivers a feminist fantasy experience that overturns genre conventions at every opportunity, as well as his diverse cast of humans as well as monsters underscores underlying themes about prejudices as well as unfair assumptions. Sharp-witted banter entertains throughout, however Wheeler likewise slips in deeper considerations about the authority rulers wield as well as what true sacrifice looks like. Ganucheau contributes some thrilling as well as bloody action sequences, as well as her candy-colored palette, suffused with bright pinks as well as purples, is an influenced touch, just one more method this story subverts expectations.” Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

“This fast-paced, funny experience subverts traditional princess stories in methods that are subtly appropriate to contemporary issues. Wheeler’s engaging story is well matched by Ganucheau’s meticulous, detailed artwork, which is awash with beautiful, bright colors as well as characters of refreshingly diverse skin tones as well as body shapes. perfect for fans of series like Ms. marvel or Lumberjanes, this will be right at house next to any type of book about smart, spunky princesses triumphing over tyranny.” Booklist

“There is a diverse mix of skin tones, genders, orientations, as well as ages among both humans as well as monsters; this motley team provides a broad variety of visitors somebody to determine with as well as to root for. The conceit of the princess saving the day may not be completely new, however don’t let that be a deterrent: Wheeler’s take is offbeat as well as fresh. Quirky, unconventional, as well as a great deal of fun.” Kirkus

“[…] one more Castle subverts one of my preferred tropes to break down: the princess who needs rescuing. […] the very best thing about Misty? She doesn’t feel like she has to select between being quite as well as being tough—she’s always prepared to jump into action, even in her finest dress.” teen Vogue

“It’s a interesting twist on a familiar trope, as well as one that fits into a extremely appealing pattern of indie comic series that accept female empowerment as well as ’90s nostalgia.” MTV

“Alongside Paulina Ganucheau’s vibrant cartooning, Andrew Wheeler’s tales subtly (and, occasionally, not so subtly) twist whatever these stories normally want to teach you. Prepare to get schooled.” WIRED, “5 Comics You absolutely must pick Up This Month”

“It’s long been a saying for a hero to save the damsel in distress (in games as well as in stories in general), so one more Castle looks at the tale of the lady held in captivity. Princess Misty of Beldora is no typical damsel, as she really has to keep up appearances that she’s a helpless prisoner as she secretly plots to undermine the evil villain. It’s a story that might not come at a more appropriate time in geekdom.” IGN

“It’s a fantastically fun read, full of bright colors as well as fun characters.” book Riot Comics, “5 graphic Novels to watch for in February”
