Harley and Ivy is a followup to Dini and Timm’s Mad Love, a Harley Quinn-centric collection I gave a hearty five stars to only a month ago. While Mad Love was about Harley and Joker, this book follows the hijinks of two of Batman’s more famous villains. The main story in this collection is a fun around-the-world adventure in which Harley and Ivy cause trouble in Gotham, traipse through an exotic rain forest, and make their debuts in Hollywood. The varied settings provide opportunities for a […]
Are you a good monster or a bad monster?
This incredible graphic novel is Emil Ferris’ first but not, thank goodness, her last. Volume 2 is due out next March and I’ve already pre-ordered my copy. My Favorite Thing is Monsters is a graphic novel that deals with intense issues and features stunning artwork. Set in 1960s Chicago, the novel involves contemporary events, an illness, child abandonment and abuse, a murder with possible connections to Nazi Germany, and an abiding love of fine art and monsters. The fact that it is narrated by a […]
Nice Meeting All of You. Enjoy the Rest of Your Cruise.
Hi. You should read Chelsea Cain’s run of Mockingbird. I Can Explain and My Feminist Agenda are FANTASTIC! Really! What can I say that will get you to read these two volumes? Chelsea Cain is not a comic book writer. She was hired to write an eight issue run for Mockingbird, aka Barbara “Bobbi” Morse. It’s a remarkable run, and I am so very sad that it isn’t going to be a multi-year, eight volume run. As it stands, Cain’s eight issue run really should […]
“Beckford is not a suicide spot. Beckford is a place to get rid of troublesome women.”
I have a well documented problem with books that have too many characters, particularly when the too many characters each have chapters from their point of views, so I don’t think I was every going to love Into the Water… That being said, even if the novel only focused on two or three of the characters I still don’t think I would have been into it, definitely not like I was with Hawkins’ previous novel Girl on the Train or any of the other recent strings of female focused […]
Too Bleak for Me
Crime is a fact of the human species, a fact of that species alone, but it is above all the secret aspect, impenetrable, and hidden. Crime hides, and by far the most terrifying things are those which elude us. – Georges Bataille Thus begins’ Dark Horse’s Noir. The book, as the title and the cover suggest, is dark. Dark Horse’s mixtape of thirteen diverse stories from diverse writers and artists fixates on one theme – people are awful. Contributors include such big names as Brian […]
A beautiful Marilyn biography
Full disclosure I received this from fellow Cannonballer Xoxoxoe as she frickin’ wrote/drew this. How cool is that?! All thoughts and opinions though are my own, but I’ll start with this one is definitely staying on my bookshelf. There’s not much to plot here, it’s a biography of Marilyn Monroe. We start with Norma Jean and work our way through to the end of her too short life. I really enjoy history, and especially Hollywood history (the podcast You Must Remember This is amazing y’all […]
