Wade wants to roast marshmallows while all creation burns.

June 12, 2017 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe is interesting, but not as much fun as I like my Deadpool. Spoilers abound in this review. The first issue opens on Sue Storm grieving with Reed Richards as he dies a rather gruesome death in the shattered remains of The Thing. Soon we find out that Deadpool has killed them, and he promptly kills the Storm siblings. But why? Flashback to Charles Xavier and some X-Men forcibly checking Deadpool into a mental hospital. It’s pretty clear that something sketchy […]

Patsy and Jessica, Starting Over

June 11, 2017 by Emmalita 1 Comment

In the Netflix Jessica Jones series, Patsy Walker and Jessica are best friends and foster sisters. In Patsy Walker, A.K.A Hellcat! and Jessica Jones: Alias, they don’t even know each other, yet. Despite the years, writers, artists and tones separating them, they have a lot in common. Beyond the superficial of both being super powered, they are two women with traumatic pasts trying to start over and move on. As you can tell from the cover, Patsy Walker, aka Hellcat is not gritty. It’s fun, but […]

Wonder Woman: The True Amazon

June 11, 2017 by The Chancellor Leave a Comment

With the new Wonder Woman movie coming out soon, I wanted to brush up on my knowledge of Diana. I happened upon this graphic novel in my library and thought I would pick it up. I’ll be honest, besides the 1970’s show, which I think is the only time Wonder Woman has had her own screen time, I didn’t know anything about her. The graphic novel roots Diana’s story in ancient Greece and the war between Herakles and the Amazon’s queen. They end up moving […]

Saga, Vol. 7

June 11, 2017 by The Chancellor Leave a Comment

Every time a new volume of Saga comes out, it turns into a race between my wife and I to see who can check it out first from the library.  She beat me this time.  Luckily, she’s good enough not to react too vocally to what’s happening so that by the time I have a chance to read it, there’s not a lot I feel I can predict. Vol. 7 is getting the plot back on track. I had a complaint about this regarding Vol. […]

Conflicted. Still, till death.

June 5, 2017 by tillie 5 Comments

I love the rat queens. The first book was amazing, fresh and funny. The second book was fast paced and hilarious. Before I read the third volume I went back and re-read the second one. That when I realized it was like a whole new book. I couldn’t remember anything about it at all. Apparently this series quality is deteriorating. And fast. It’s been a week since I read the third one. And I can’t really tell you what it’s about.  There is a bunch […]

The SAGA continues (had to use the pun once).

June 3, 2017 by cheerbrarian Leave a Comment

Where we last left off, our intrepid star-crossed lovers had just been joined by Marko’s parents…awkward.  Things get off to a rocky start as mom leaves with Marko to try to recover their ghost nanny (this story is just so fun to write about!) and dad is left with Alana, who is suspicious of him, to say the least.  But luckily, their tree spaceship has got her back, and he ends up a little…tied up (pun totally intended). Meanwhile, the unlucky in love mercenary, unlucky […]

    Maybe they’ll share it when they do a special edition box set after the third (?) book comes out.
