Humans have migrated into space and lost contact with Earth. They live now in an Empire they call The Interdependancy. There is no faster than light travel, the laws of physics forbid it. There is the Flow. The Flow isn’t well understood, but it has pathways, and those paths allow ships to travel between planets in months rather than years or centuries. The Empire is called The Interdependency because it is deliberately designed so that each colony depends on the others to survive. Each colony […]
The Only Inhumans I Really Care About
I love Lunella Lafayette and her BFF, Devil Dinosaur. From Amazon: “She’s been so busy worrying about the Terrigen Cloud that would turn her Inhuman, Luna Lafayette might instead fall prey to…Cosmic Cooties?! Because when a new boy moves to town from far, far away, he’s oddly interested in her. Meanwhile, the most wanted T-Rex in NYC is running out of places to lie low – a problem that won’t get any easier when our darling duo undergo a body swap! It’s a big change […]
Apologies, Kindness, and the Best Nap.
“A word about apologizing: It’s hard to do it without digging yourself in deeper. It’s also scary and that’s why we avoid the pain. We want so badly to plead our case and tell our story. The bad news is that everybody has a story. Everyone has a version of how things went down and how they participated.” I listened to Amy Poehler and guests read Yes Please. I highly recommend it. One of my missions in life is to encourage women to be kinder to […]
Why is Frank Miller so Beloved?
I didn’t like this. At all. I think I’ve reached the point in reading comic books and graphic novels where I have definite opinions. I haven’t delved into the history of comic books. I’m sure that there is a reason that Frank Miller is revered, but I haven’t figured out what it is yet. Daredevil: The Man Without Fear would put me off Daredevil if I weren’t already watching the Netflix series. The volume is mostly narrated with occasional breaks for conversation between characters. I […]
Yes, I Did Picture Leslie Odom, Jr.
I am in the middle of struggling through a review of a graphic novel that I didn’t like. I didn’t hate it, so I don’t have hate fueling my words. I have 96 more words to find. With 96 words still eluding me, I took a break to read Mrs. Julien’s review of Wait For It, and now here I am, 24 hours later, writing my own review of Wait For It. Mrs. Julien, being the lovely human being and inveterate book pusher that she […]
The Answer Is In Plain Sight
Right before I read Hush, I read a mystery that was not afraid of the female gaze. There was a fair amount of commenting on men’s thighs. I was primed to notice the musculature of Batman’s thighs. Those are some powerful thighs. Batman has always been a television or movie character to me. I grew up on Adam West’s Batman. I have watched every live action Batman film and many of the animated movies. I love Batman: The Animated Series. I haven’t been a Batman […]
