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 […]
It doesn’t feel like nothing.
What would you do if the world were ending? What would you do if you were a 16 year old girl with super powers? At the end of Crushed, Kamala Khan felt like the world was ending because she had been betrayed by her first crush. But now, the world is really ending. What good is it to be a superhero if you can’t keep the world from ending? What do you do when nothing you do will change the outcome? Ms. Marvel finally gets […]
Stories Helped Make Me Who I Am
3.5 stars, rounded up to 4 I love Faith. LOOK AT HER!!!!! She is a legitimately fat woman. She looks like a real fat woman and not just an extra curvy woman. She flies and fights crime. As a fat woman myself, I love this. I know a lot of fat women who have the athleticism and grace to fly, if only gravity would let them. And do you know how often her weight is alluded to? Never. No one tells her she can’t superhero […]
Sneak Preview of The Flash Season 3
I’m a big fan of CW’s The Flash. If I’m being honest it’s the TV show I most look forward to watching week-to-week, and the show whose return I’m most eagerly anticipating. The end of last season ended with a game changing moment that seemed poised to shake up the show’s entire universe. I had learned enough about the world of Flash comics to know that they were probably going to incorporate the events of Flashpoint into season 3, so I decided I should read […]
The Man Without a Story
I keep trying with comic books and I think I may stop soon. (Although I have another review of one coming right up.) Something about the medium doesn’t work for me. I wanted to try a Daredevil comic because I really enjoyed the Netflix series. After looking into it, the Frank Miller run seemed like a good place to start. The problem with this volume is that it is only a start. Across the issues collected here, the only thing that really happens is the […]
Does she even go here?
I love Kamala Khan. The Pakistani-American teen is joyful and anxious about life, and earnest about her new, Terrigen Mists revealed inhuman powers. She has so much with which to contend – new powers, secret identity, parents who want her to observe Pakistani customs, an inhuman family she’s just getting to know, and being a teenage girl. In Crushed, Kamala faces off with a benevolent Loki, her first crush, her family’s expectations and traditions, and some sort of malevolent pizza dough. I enjoyed the volume, […]
