I’ve been a bit of an obsessive fan of Jane Austen’s novels and some of the adaptations for decades. In recent years, a few Jane Austen-themed games have come out, purporting to be reflective of the Regency era, but so far, to me, they’ve all fallen flat. They either only touch on some of the themes, or they paste a Jane Austen skin on a completely unrelated game. I’ve kept hoping for something more accurate and relevant to the stories, though.

Two weeks ago I shared some comics for kids. This week I’ve got some more comics, this time for young adults. The age definition for “young adults” can be a little hazy at times, but generally I’m using it for kids 12 and up. Most of the books in this stack have high schoolers as their main characters, so that usually gives you a sense of the target audience, though of course there’s always some wiggle room there.
