The Magia the Ninth series has a thoroughly ridiculous premise, which is why it’s so much fun. It’s also only 2 volumes which makes the end pretty open-ended. I found myself wishing for maybe one or two more volumes to fill in a few of the many gaps. Basically a high school student whose parents were killed by a demon runs into the head demon hunter of the Church of the Masterpiece, Ludwig von Beethoven (cranky, ambitious, powerful, but maybe nice too). Beethoven, along with […]
7 Princes- Really 6- Indiana Jones style
The Seven Princes of the Thousand Year Labyrinth looks like an entertaining fantasy-mystery series. The basic premise is that seven different attractive young men wake or end up in the Castle-of-the Thousand-Year-Labyrinth. They are candidates to be the next emperor, since hereditary monarchy was outlawed centuries ago, and they can’t leave the castle until they decide among themselves who will be the next emperor; everyone else becomes the ruler’s new advisors.. Ewan is the main character and he looks like a naïve country boy, while […]
Canadian Goonies
It’s Goonies cause there’s a weird ghost type thing and a spooky hand and teenagers. But it’s Canadian, because it’s Canadian, and it’s about feelings. This should have really been called Friends with a Boy and a Girl, because that’s actually what happens. This is a short graphic novel about a girl named Maggie who is about to have her first day of high school. Like every other YA (graphic) novel, her dad is the police chief and her mom has run away. She’s got […]
After Watching Logan This Weekend…Perfect Balm for All Those Feelings
If you haven’t watched the movie Logan yet, look away! The character we follow in this All New Wolverine issue is Laura. We get to see her as she steps up to be the new Wolverine, while still being mentored by our Logan (who is now gone). In this first issue, we see that Laura has doubts about who she is and what she is doing. She feels like a monster and just a killing machine. When she gets knocked out, she apparently gets some […]
Feels a Bit Like Filler, But I Still Loved It
I have to say the art in these graphic novels showing how our Roland becomes the Gunslinger that many long time King fans know and love is awesome. In issue #4 out of 7 in the first part of the series we have Roland and Susan admitting that something is between them and Roland falls in love. Of course long time readers know what is going to be happening next right? Cause if you don’t, I say look away. I am actually a bit nervous […]
Ta-Nehisi Coates’ second Black Panther outing
I was highly intrigued by Ta-Nehisi Coates’ take on the Black Panther comics, and now that the first volume is done, he can get to work. I was interested in seeing how Wakanda would get developed as a world and how T’Challa would face the challenges ahead. I believe there is plenty of room to expand and many, many stories to tell from this series, and I hope that Coates continues to write more comics. I think he’s found a groove with the comic genre, […]
