After achieving my double cannonball I began reading the, so far, interesting but dense White Trash because I could afford the luxury of long winded non-fiction. Then my sister-in-law gifted me the adorable comic Breaking Cat News and I figured it’d be a fun way to sneak in one more review before the end of the year. Georgia Dunn was inspired by her real life cats one evening when they all came to investigate a broken shelf; she gave them voices and narrated their investigative report […]
Ta-Nehisi Coates brings a comic book figure to life
Because I’m not a comic book aficionado, I am positive that there are pieces I am missing out on with the Black Panther series. For example, the first I’d heard of Black Panther as a Marvel character was in Captain America: Civil War (which was meh for me, and I’m pretty much done with comic book movies at the moment. I ain’t sorry). I don’t know the history or the backstory, so I don’t know how much I was prepared for this new incarnation. But […]
Cannonball!!!
Since “Captain American: Civil War” I’ve been intrigued by the Black Panther Character. I like that there’s a character who’s not supernatural (Captain America, Thor, Spiderman, etc.), but has skills similar to Black Widow and Hawkeye, which are my favorite types of super heroes. It’s about time that a person of color is going to be featured as a superhero and not just as Iron Man’s sidekick. I like to read the back stories on the superheroes in the movies, I’ve been wanting to catch […]
Low on the Lumberjane Scale
I have really liked the Lumberjanes series so far, but I gotta say number 5 was a little bit of a let-down. The basic storyline follows 5 friends and their camp counsellor through a summer of camp sponsored by a vaguely scout-like organization, the eponymous Lumberjanes. Except of course that this is not your typical scouting group, and not your typical summer camp. Strange events and encounters of the supernatural variety will happen, and the camp and its director are most certainly involved somehow. Each […]
Let the Wookie Win
Mmmm… At last, the unsung hero of the Star Wars franchise gets his due. Never mind the drama queen Skywalker boys, or that show boating Han Solo, Chewbacca is the “big walking carpet” who gets stuff done. He gets the mission completed without spreading his family drama all over the galaxy. Gerry Dugan is one of my favorite comic book writers. I love his Deadpool run, and was looking forward to reading his Chewbacca adventures. I put it on my list after reading Halb’s review. […]
Everybody Sucks But Me
I have enjoyed Matt Fraction’s Hawkeye series tremendously. I enjoy Fraction’s Clint Barton much more than the Barton in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Volume 3, though, focuses on the other Hawkeye, Kate Bishop. Kate is 21 and from a wealthy family. She may be young and brash, but she’s a great Hawkeye, especially when paired with Clint Barton. Unfortunately, Clint is wallowing in his own feelings and Kate decides she can’t watch anymore. So she takes The dog, flips off daddy and heads for the […]
