For the night is dark and full of shadows

August 12, 2016 by Malin Leave a Comment

This is volume 3 in an ongoing story arc and really won’t make much sense to anyone beginning the series here. Start at the beginning with Vol 1: Welcome to Lovecraft. The three half-orphaned Locke children, Tyler, Kinsey and Bode, have already gone through so much horror and heartbreak, and it doesn’t seem to be letting up any time soon. Their mother is becoming less dependable, as she’s gradually descending further into alcoholism and madness, aggravated by the evil spirit haunting their lives. Kinsey is […]

You’re gonna miss each and every shot you can’t be bothered to take

August 11, 2016 by Malin 3 Comments

4.5 stars I didn’t know a whole lot about Hawkeye outside of the Marvel comic book movies, where he’s clearly an excellent bowman and reclusive family man, but also Black Widow’s wise-quipping sidekick. I’ve heard good things about Matt Fraction’s run on this comic for years, and since it was on our shelf, this summer seemed like the right time to finally check it out. I’m so glad I did. Full review on  my blog.

The Picture Version of Texts With Jane Eyre

August 8, 2016 by faintingviolet 2 Comments

I’m glad I lent crystalclear the Hamilton book when I had it out from the library, or I’d feel in real friend debt, since she has been lending me books all year. This is another delivery from her, and it served as a palate cleanser between Children of God, When a Scot Ties the Knot, and The House of the Spirits. Yes, I have weird reading habits, Casino Royale was in there too for a short time. I feel this book works best in that […]

Not for the faint of stomach

August 8, 2016 by Malin Leave a Comment

Volume 2: 4 stars Chew is a truly strange comic book where a lot of the characters have abilities out of the ordinary with regards to food and drink. Tony Chu, our hero, is cibopathic. This means that he gets a psychic impression from everything he ingests. This can mean that he can picture the tree an apple came from or see the field a vegetable was grown in and how it came to be harvested, or he can experience the last moments of a […]

I’m Gonna Need Some New People to Invite to Dinner.

August 5, 2016 by Emmalita 4 Comments

I have a new found love of comic books, and I have loved cooking and eating for a long time. I was so excited when I saw Cook Korean! posted on the Cannonball Read Instagram – a cookbook in comic book form. I have been looking at several Korean cookbooks for a long time, so it seemed like good timing and I bought it. Since arriving, it hasn’t been far from my side. I’ve lovingly stroked it’s pages and imagined a bunch of dinner parties. […]

Squirrel Agility Ability

August 5, 2016 by Emmalita 2 Comments

The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl is an absolute delight. She’s a little bit like Deadpool, if Deadpool still had his innocence and had never been a mercenary. She’s jaunty, clever, irreverent and some one is breaking the 4th wall, though it’s more the author than Squirrel Girl. Squirrel Girl super heroes in her own unique way. She takes down the baddest of the bad and makes friends along the way. Doreen Green is totally just your average, normal girl on her way to start college. She […]

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