  This is a review of a straight-up crossover fanfiction, so beware, all ye who enter here! As you can probably guess from the title, this is a Harry Potter/Avengers crossover.  Now, I read a lot of fanfiction, and I go through them fairly quickly.  I’m not in the habit of writing reviews on the actual works, let alone 250+ words on Cannonball (I know, bad habit).  But this one deserves it!  (Also, it’s not smutty!) After the death of Sirius, Harry receives a delayed […]

I’ve been waiting for the Captain Marvel movie since 2012! I read the first few volumes for a MOOC called “Gender Issues in Comics” which was presented on Canva by Christy Blanch. It was a wonderful course which jumpstarted my interest in superhero comics (particularly female superhero comics).  And I completely got why Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers changed the game for female comics readers.  So in anticipation of the new movie, I avoided all casting reveals and spoilers and revisited the first 3.5 volumes of the […]

I’ve Got Ramen Noodles Coming Out My Nose: Jessica Jones on the Page

My husband picked up the first volume of Jessica Jones because we had watched the Netflix show and enjoyed it greatly (aside from me having Kilgrave nightmares, but I guess that just means I was invested, right?). If you’re moving from show to comics, there are substantial differences between this first book and the world of the show—without spoiling anything, her relationship with Luke Cage is different, Malcolm is very different, Carol Danvers is Trish (to some extent), Kilgrave is nowhere to be found (for […]
