Wild Ride was my least favorite Jennifer Crusie romance until I realized it is not a romance. I read this when it was first released in 2010. I picked it up again a couple of weeks ago because I couldn’t remember much about it other than it wasn’t a great romance, and one other thing I’ll discuss later in the review. Crusie and Bob Mayer co-wrote three romance-adventures/adventure-romances, Don’t Look Down, Agnes and the Hitman, and Wild Ride. They made for an interesting writing pair, but […]
Come Home
Jessica Jones is back as the hard drinking, self-loathing private investigator. She is much more together than she was at the beginning of Volume 1, but get a couple of drinks in her and she will fuck inappropriate people. Jessica heads to a small town to investigate the disappearance of a teenage girl who is either a mutant, lied about being a mutant, or had rumors spread about her that she is a mutant. In this small town, mutants are the hated group du jour. […]
Along Comes a Spider
I know the Marvel movie and comics universes are separate, but I would pay money to see a movie version of the Molot Boga and Damon Dran story. Sure, after 2 volumes I don’t know where the Chaos story is going, but there’s an interesting movie in there. There’s enough that we don’t know about Natasha’s life, that a non-Avengers Black Widow movie would be viable. I’d love to see more of the Natasha/Tori Raven relationship. The Finely Woven Thread made me feel like Marvel does […]
Can’t a Girl Just Make a Living?
Kate Leth continues the adventures of Patsy Walker, aka Hellcat. Patsy just wants to get her life together and avoid the big fights. She’s Avenged and she’s Defended and now she wants to keep her head down and live a life. That’s hard to do when her childhood frenemy is making problems for her and Civil War II is going on. I love Kate Leth’s Patsy Walker. She’s warm and bright, but not chirpy and naive. Patsy’s sweetness is tempered by by the sadness and […]
1, 2, 3, 4, I Declare an Actual War
Happy Canada Day! And Happy 150th Birthday Canada! I celebrated with a team up of two Canadian superheroes and one American – Deadpool, Wolverine, and Captain America. Rest easy Canada, Wolverine and Captain America didn’t go along willingly. I am so happy to dive back into my favorite Deadpool (sorry RyRy!). Duggan and Posehn’s take on the Merc with the Mouth stole my heart in Vol. 1, Dead Presidents. Their Deadpool is funny, irreverent, and crazy as a bedbug. He wants to do the right […]
Save Yourself
About a year ago, I asked what comics I should look for during my first comic book store shopping experience. ElCicco suggested Princeless, an Eisner Award nominated series published by the company her husband co-owns. At the time, I had a certain amount of dollars and a long list, so Princeless didn’t make it to the register. It’s been on my list ever since. I was delighted to find I could read Vol. 1 for free on ComiXology Unlimited. I highly recommend seeking it out. Princess […]
