Goat Magic is a “new fairy tale” graphic novel, written and illustrated by cartoonist Kate Wheeler. In the Kingdom of Capeya there lived a goat-herder named Trill. She had a unique, magical ability to communicate with the herd under her care. But she was bored with her life, as what she really wanted was to be a wizard and work some real magic. Also in the Kingdom lived Princess Alya, heir to the throne. What she really wanted was to be anything other than a princess. But then an assassination attempt leaves Alya with a terrible curse: Every sunrise, she transforms into a black goat. Running off to hide in the countryside, Alya discovers that Trill’s magical gift might just be the thing that could break the evil spell. Want to know more? Visit Oni Press and find out!

Still Lurking About

Many years ago, the writer and artist Patrick Scullin got on the radar of many furry fans with his illustrated steampunk adventure Pandamonium: Death of a King. Well, it turns out he’s still around, teaching graphic arts at Riverside City College in California — and, still finding time to make comics, some of them definitely furry! Ninja Pig, for instance, goes like this: “In a land where loyalty is sacred and betrayal is death, a noble samurai’s life is cut short  — not in war, but by the hand of a jealous brother-in-arms. But this warrior’s story doesn’t end with the blade. Through forbidden mystic arts, his soul survives — transferred into the body of the nearest living vessel: A humble, wallowing pig.” Then in a sillier vein, there’s Stray: Toaster Trouble. “The tale of a stray coyote and his band of misfit pets as they defend their suburban backyard with humor and heart from enemies foreign and domesticated.” Find both of these and more at the artist’s official web site.

Animals Rule This Land is the very odd and ambitious graphic novel from first-timer Luke Milton, available in hardcover from Black Panel Press. “The world has ended- you’re the only human left in a village full of erratic- freshly-evolved animals- and a maniacal rabbit in a vest is gifting you a blood-covered toaster. They say they want to be friends- so why are you constantly being drugged and threatened by henchmen- kidnapped and insulted by the dog next door- and falling prey to a seemingly friendly duck who’s running an unnecessarily complicated bread scam?” Check out the review and preview at Slings and Arrows.

Raccoon of Righteousness

We found a new (to us!) comic series from Dark Horse, one that claims to be “Hellboy meets Redwall“. William of Newbury was created by Michael Avon Oeming, who previously brought us the well-known Mice Templar series. Here’s what Dark Horse says: “Loosely based on real events in 12th century England during what was known as ‘The Anarchy’. A time where the country was beset with plague, civil war, and demons. William of Newbury is a neurotic monk, fearful of the earthly world, but confident and unwavering in the face of true evil. He fights the dead to restore peace, but his brother is intent on stopping him, fearing for his soul. Newbury is dark, yet quaint, deadly yet cute. Follow him as he negotiates with thieves, evades his brother and the church, and battles the undead and evil spirits.” Issues 1 through 4 are now together in a trade paperback.

Another graphic novel series for young folks, with a welcome message of self-acceptance. That’s the Shark Princess series, written and illustrated by Nidhi Chanani. “Meet Kitana—a Shark Princess and the first of her kind. Her allergy-ridden best friend Mack wants to be one too, but he worries that his sharp teeth and big sneezes make him too dangerous to be a princess. With Kitana’s help, Mack realizes his unique shine. When Mack puts on his crown for the first time, these Shark Princesses are ready to explore the ocean and embark on a fintastic adventure! Nidhi Chanani’s signature artwork brings this underwater series to life in a spunky tale about friendship and redefining who and what a princess can be.” Shark Princess and its sequels are available from Penguin Random House.

Elementary, My Dear Truffles

Meet two pets with very different views on life in The Great Puptective, the first in a graphic novel series written and illustrated by Alina Tysoe. “Truffles the cat is the only pet in the house and reigns in peace and quiet, only exerting himself to find the best place to take a nice, long nap — preferably in a spot of warm sunshine. Then Poppy the puppy bursts onto the scene. Poppy is loud, enthusiastic, excitable, and — worst of all — a puptective! She’s got an eye for crime and a nose to solve all mysteries that come her way… even though she’s not completely sure what a mystery is. Truffles cannot let this intrusion stand. Poppy won’t be able to continue disrupting his precious me-time if she’s shipped to the North Pole! But could this irrepressible new companion be just what this grumpy cat needs?” This and more adventures are available from Simon & Schuster.

This has been around a while — time we got to it. Between Snow and Wolf is a full-color graphic novel written by Agnes Domergue and illustrated by Helen Canac. “What secret is hidden in the heart of the forest? Lila lives with her father on a snowy island. From a young age, he has protected her from a curse and a demon. One day when he is away for a longer period of time, Lila imagines him already a prisoner and decides to go looking for him. She then discovers a forest asleep under the snow, populated by enigmatic spirits and a white wolf.” The inspiration of Hayao Miyazaki is quite obvious here — and the comparison is welcome. This is still available in hardcover from Magnetic Press.

Wolves and Art

We came across this book while Christmas shopping! And it’s really unique… “Part epic picture book, part graphic novel, The Five Wolves defies genres. With intricate ink work and meticulous hand-lettering, Peter McCarty has crafted a dazzling reading experience. The Five Wolves is an entrancing journey and a testament to the power of art and artists. Across oceans, through fields, and down tunnels, five daring wolves traverse the planet in search of wonders to draw and paint. All the while, a disembodied narrator spins the tale of their absurdist adventure and asks big questions. What is art? And who does it belong to?” Find out more (and see a preview) over at MacMillan Publishers. [Have a happy and safe New Year, everyone, and all the best in 2026 — Ye Ed-Otter.]
