A Sad Reminder that We are STILL Debating These Issues

The Handaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

by Leave a Comment

The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood My rating: 4 of 5 stars My first encounter with “The Handmaid’s Tale” was through the television show. I only watched three episodes, but it scared me. I’m not one to watch shows or films where people suffer and/or experience trauma. I’m too empathetic. So needless to say, when my wife suggested that we read the book and discuss it, I was wary. At least with viewing something you can look away; not so with reading. Thankfully, the book’s […]

Hunger Games + Lost= This Amazingly Hilarious, Intriguing Book

Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir My rating: 5 of 5 stars Gideon the Ninth lives in Drearburgh, the seat of the Ninth House. Together with the other eight houses, the nine form the realm of the Emperor. Each house has their own characteristic, mythology, and strengths. Gideon longs to leave the Ninth and join the Cohort, aka the realm’s army. Her plans are put on hold when a summons from the Emperor calls all of the house heirs and their cavaliers to the First […]

Balck Widow, Volume 1: The Finely Woven Thread by Nathan Edmondson

by 3 Comments

Black Widow, Volume 1: The Finely Woven Thread by Nathan Edmondson My rating: 3 of 5 stars Black Widow is one of my favorite superheroes. I love the espionage/assassin background, the snarky comments, and the cool demeanor. And she can fight like nobody’s business. I know some of her background as Natasha Romanov from the Avenger’s films, but haven’t read any of her graphic novels. “The Finely Woven Thread” isn’t a bad place to start, although it’s not an origin story. To really understand the […]

Wonder Woman, Cheetah, and Dr. Cyborg Walk Into a Bar…

Wonder Woman, Volume 4: Godwatch by Greg Rucka

by Leave a Comment

Wonder Woman, Volume 4: Godwatch by Greg Rucka My rating: 3 of 5 stars “Godwatch” goes deep into Dr. Cale’s and Dr. Cyber’s quest to find Thymoscira, which has been the root of the conflict for the previous four volumes. Phobos and Deimos play an intergral role in this volume as well as a surprise minor goddess I didn’t know even had a part in this universe. Diana confronts all of them and begins wrapping up the conflicts that have been interwoven in volumes 1-4. […]

Ares + Aphrodite = PROBLEMS

Wonder Woman, Volume 3: The Truth by Greg Rucka

by Leave a Comment

Wonder Woman, Volume 3: The Truth by Greg Rucka My rating: 3 of 5 stars “The Truth” takes us even further back into the plot that was begun in volumes 1 and 2. It’s a great timeline jump that both flashes back and yet moves the plot forwards. We go deeper into Greek mythology as we meet Ares and Aphrodite’s sons, learn about the patrons of the Amazons and their relationship to the gods, as well as learn more about another villain in the Wonder […]
