The Forest in modernist art The allure of the North remains unbroken: endless coniferous forests on the edge of the Arctic Polar Region, radiant "white" summer nights, long and silent winters with deep snow, and the magical Northern Lights have inspired artists for generations. The Fondation Beyeler dedicates an impressive exhibition to this unique natural and cultural phenomenon, showcasing landscape paintings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries from Scandinavia, Finland, and Canada. The catalogue presents works by world-renowned artists such as Edvard Munch , Akseli Gallen-Kallela , and Hilma af Klint . At the same time, it introduces works by lesser-known artists whose creations have so far received little attention in Central Europe, including Harald Sohlberg , Gustav Fjaestad , Emily Carr , Tom Thomson , and Prince Eugen of Sweden . This selection is further enriched by significant works from Ivan Shishkin , Anna Boberg , Helmi Biese , Lawren Harris , and J. E. H. Macdonald . This catalogue offers a fascinating insight into Nordic landscape painting and invites readers to discover the magical imagery of the North.

Another glimpse of the boy-behind-the-bat, with humor and heart; 4.5 stars
Format: Kindle
1st Line: "This is Gotham City."
Review: This new graphic novel, of a pre-Batman Bruce Wayne as a kid, opens in a Gotham City already all but decimated by crime and corruption. But with all its horrors, the worst of them for the young, rich, highly-intelligent but otherwise nerdy Bruce Wayne, orphaned after the murders of his parents, is none other than the Gotham Preparatory School for the Really, Really Gifted - his middle school. Here, all the students have some form of super power or another (The Flash, Wonder Woman, Superman, Penguin, Catwoman, and more - all started off in middle grade here) ... except for Bruce, who only got into the school because his parents funded the building of it before their deaths, and remains a target for bullies for not having any powers of his own. But when fellow student Jack Napier, himself having no super powers except for conning his way into the school, begins bullying Bruce's friend, elementary student Dick Grayson, Bruce becomes determined to strike back - thus beginning his ascent to a career as a vigilante, even as his loyal butler Alfred and the school's vice-principal forbid it. But will Bruce get it together in time to foil Jack's plans for the Crime of the Semester? And what of Bane, Jack's new sidekick, who would be a formidable foe even for someone with superpowers?
Bruce Wayne: Not Super is terrific; a comedic look at the young, super-smart yet geeky Bruce completely out of his element as a young kid, formerly with the attention span of a goldfish, who may have finally found his calling. Also nice are the glimpses of a number of future DC superhero icons in their youth, but the story really does belong to the humor of Bruce wanting to save his city, agreeing to take a hyperactive Robin in tow as his sidekick, with no knowledge of how to fight and an arsenal of weapons thrown together in minutes - and potentially of harm more to the user than the bad guy - all while Alfred says no and remains in constant threat of sending the future Batman to his room. The poor kid, after all, can't even put a bat costume together; in it, he's mistaken for everything from a badger to a rat to even a prairie dog. Bruce pushes past it all, his pluck and determination to save Gotham City one villain at a time his true calling, and among writer Stuart Gibbs glib and funny humor and Berat Pekmezci's bursting-with-color art, the very basic but heartfelt beginnings of the boy who'd grow to become The Bat shines through. It's really good. So good, I already itch for a sequel. 4.5/5 stars

Fun story with familiar characters
Format: Paperback
4 stars = Great! Might re-read.
This was fun! I enjoyed the illustrations and getting to scan the crowd scenes for more DC characters. I enjoyed Bruce's journey. I didn't love the portrayal of Clark Kent here, but the rest of this was fun. I would definitely read more of these if there are going to be sequels.
There's a one-star review here that is completely on target in their assessment of some of the liberties taken in the book. Buyer/reader will have to decide if those observations will lead you to skip this one or if you can set aside those internal inconsistencies to accept the story as is.

Fun for kids and those kids at heart!
Format: Paperback
When I was a kid around 8 or 9 years old, we would go to an outdoor theatre, a special treat. I remember the old 1960's era Batman movies playing on the screen. It was fun, exciting, heroic...all those things that made it pure enjoyment. When I think of recent Batman movies that have turned dark, deadly, desperate, all the fun has gone out of those experiences and I simply don't watch those movies. This is simply a long way of saying that this book, Bruce Wayne: Not Super, brought back all the fun I experienced as a kid. Here we have our hero, who doesn't think he is, who compares himself to everyone around him with supernatural abilities, and begins to grow desperate. The background story is essentially the same: dead parents, rotten town, etc. But we see life from his perspective and can root for him all the way. He goofs up, makes lots of mistakes and this makes him even more lovable. This book is prefect for readers young and old, and if this made into a movie, I guarantee you that I would watch it. Highly recommended.

Fun Story For Any Age Fan
Format: Paperback
Bruce Wayne is the only kid at his middle school without some kind of special powers. He wants to make a difference in Gotham but he thinks he doesn’t stand a chance compared to all of the other students with impressive skills. Bruce Wayne: Not Super follows Bruce’s journey to finding out what makes him special.
This middle grade graphic novel is very well done. I was already familiar with much of the author, Stuart Gibbs’ work. His style and sense of humor carry over well to this type of comic. The illustrations pair nicely and are done in a lighter style than more adult Batman comics.
Bruce Wayne: Not Super would be a good introductory book for younger Batman fans or a fun addition for collectors of any age to add to their stash.
I don’t know if the author has worked with DC before but I’d love to see more collaborations in the future for more middle grade graphic novels.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you to NetGalley and DC Entertainment (DC Comics)!

Fun Middle School Origin Story
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Bruce Wayne stands out at his middle school, Gotham Preparatory School for the Really, Really Gifted. No, not because of the wealth he’s inherited from him parents but because he’s the only one without any powers. But when he sees a student bullying another kid, he decides he has to do something. Will he come up with a plan?
This is a fun alternative take on Batman’s origins including cameos from other DC super heroes. The story was entertaining, and I laughed multiple times as I was reading. Be sure to look at the illustrations since some of the jokes are in there. This graphic novel is a very fun read.
