Ares + Aphrodite = PROBLEMS

Wonder Woman, Volume 3: The Truth by Greg Rucka

December 31, 2020 by The Chancellor 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 […]

When Ares Messes With Your World, It Gets Violent QUICKLY

Wonder Woman, Volume 2: Year One by Greg Rucka

December 31, 2020 by The Chancellor Leave a Comment

Wonder Woman, Volume 2: Year One by Greg Rucka My rating: 4 of 5 stars “Year One” takes the reader back to when Diana first meets Steve Trevor on Thymoscira. It’s used as a flashback to further the plot of volume 1: The Lies. The first half of volume 2 is set on the Amazon’s island and does a great job of setting up the relationships and skills that Diana has prior to leaving the island. The second half of the volume is Diana adjusting […]

When You Think You’re Identity is All a Lie, Or the Gods are Playing a Trick on You

Wonder Woman, Volume 1: The Lies by Greg Rucka

December 31, 2020 by The Chancellor Leave a Comment

Wonder Woman, Volume 1: The Lies by Greg Rucka My rating: 3 of 5 stars “The Lies” is the beginning of another cycle to reintroduce Wonder Woman. I’ve just watched WW84 and have been curious to know more about Wonder Woman’s story. Especially because besides Diana Prince, I wasn’t aware of Cheetah, Dr. Barbara Anne Minerva or many of the other characters. This is a great volume to start with because while we don’t see how Dr. Minerva becomes Cheetah, we do see the conflict […]

Wonder Woman Fights Modern Day Ills

Wonder Woman: Tempest Tossed by Laurie Halse Anderson

December 31, 2020 by The Chancellor 1 Comment

Wonder Woman: Tempest Tossed by Laurie Halse Anderson My rating: 3 of 5 stars “Tempest Tossed” gives us a quick origin story to Diana Prince, aka Wonder Woman, before tossing her into our modern world. The plot focuses on the refugee crisis in the Mediterranean and child trafficking in the U.S. While I think superheroes are a good way to bring up tough subjects, this felt very heavy handed at times. Diana becomes the naive lens through which the reader encounters the issues at hand. […]

A Very Important Story About a Band We Don’t Talk Enough About

Redbone: The Trust Story of a Native American Rock Band by Christian Staebler

December 31, 2020 by The Chancellor Leave a Comment

Redbone: The True Story of a Native American Rock Band by Christian Staebler My rating: 5 of 5 stars I first came across the band, Redbone, when one of the Indigenous influencers I follow mentioned that this band was the most prominent Native American rock band in the 70’s, but was mostly censored here in the United States. At the same time, their song, “Come and Get My Love” is a fairly popular song and was brought back into the zeitgeist thanks to to Guardians […]

Telling the Truth is Never Easy, Even to Yourself

You Brought Me the Ocean by Alex Sanchez

December 31, 2020 by The Chancellor Leave a Comment

You Brought Me The Ocean by Alex Sanchez My rating: 4 of 5 stars This graphic novel caught my attention for several reasons. One is that I’ve lately been really into the superhero genre, another is that the main characters are young adults of color, and mostly because it’s about a young man not only finding his superpower, but also his sexuality. A lot of people look down on superhero graphic novels, but I disagree. I think there’s a lot of empowering metaphors and representation […]
