Graphic Universe: My Boyfriend Is a Monster series.
Illustrated by
Kristen Cella.
In these lightweight graphic novels, amateur witches accidentally reanimate Incan mummy Pachacutec, who falls in love with high-schooler Staci (Wrapped); popular Serena is involved in a love triangle--with strange parallels to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Loves Me); and Glory gets with new-kid Gabriel, who may just have a heavenly mission (Match). Holes in logic detract from what should be breezy reads. Review covers these Graphic Universe: My Boyfriend Is a Monster titles: Wrapped Up in You, He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not, and A Match Made in Heaven.

Graphic Universe: My Boyfriend Is a Monster series.
Illustrated by
Janina Görrissen.
Nora falls in love with Tom, a goodhearted ghost trapped in her family's Victorian house. Together they rid the house of angry spirits and ultimately free Tom's soul. The against-all-odds romance is too familiar, but it will appeal to fans of this supernatural graphic novel series. The wide-eyed characters bring an innocence to a tale that might otherwise feel more sinister.

Hyeondo Park.
In Bites, Vanessa learns from sharp-toothed boyfriend Jean-Paul that she's a foreordained monster hunter; the story has some depth and a few surprising twists. The human-faerie romance in Spell raises less excitement, but a visual shift into full color makes scenes in the fae realm seem more magical. Both graphic novels are one-time reads that series fans will enjoy. Review covers these Graphic Universe: My Boyfriend Is a Monster titles: Under His Spell and My Boyfriend Bites.

Graphic Universe: My Boyfriend Is a Monster series.
Illustrated by
Eldon Cowgur.
In Love, high school jock Dicey can see past science-loving classmate Jack's nerd status, but will a zombie bite destroy their relationship? In Made, Maria dates Frankenstein's monster's monster. Though these graphic novels don't stand up to multiple readings, their occasional tongue-in-cheek-horror humor and kick-butt female characters have some appeal. Black-and-white panel illustrations create an atmosphere of dark adventure. Review covers these Graphic Universe: My Boyfriend Is a Monster titles: Made for Each Other and I Love Him to Pieces.
