I seem to go through this comic book series in little stints. I’ll read a few, then take a break until I acquire some more, and then take another break. And while a few details always get lost here and there, it always manages to draw me back and I start to remember where I left off almost immediately. John Layman’s story is twisty and engaging, and nothing like anything I’ve ever read before (ya know, speaking for myself). It’s different and fun, but also […]
Harajuku Rapunzel
First Gwen Stefani, now Rapunzel? I do have to say, I love her style, especially that bathroom haircut and her final fight outfit with that fuzzy coat that I’m not going to tell you what it’s made of.
March (Book 1): An Origin Story
What’s hard for kids to recognize – hell, what’s hard for people to recognize – is that we’re living through history right this minute. That, someday, there’s going to be a kid, bored of his mind, doodling in the margins of his brain tablet (or whatever space technology kids are learning on in the future), barely listening to his teacher drone on and on about ‘the geopolitical ramifications of US drone strikes in 2014’ or – in deference to today’s book – ‘Let’s compare and […]
Broken city and a broken Batman
Broken city revisists the concept of Bruce as the broken Batman. It is a brilliant juxtaposing of the brokeness in Bruce Wayne/Batman and the city. It is in this book as it is in most Batman books: Healing a broken city is part of healing himself; “I’d turn the entire city into my doctor” The murder of an unmarried, pregnant woman starts Bruce on an investigation. The brother, Angel Lupo is involved somehow as is his girlfriend. The brother loved his sister and was overprotective […]
The Ever-Evolving Vampire Bloodlines
I have this problem where I always say I’m going to read the next volume or book in a series as soon as I can, but since I always have so many series on the go, it ends up being far too long before I actually get reading the next installment. In any case, it’s been a while since I’ve read any American Vampire, but fortunately I seemed to remember most of the characters and what-have-yous from the previous volumes when I picked up the […]
The Adventures of Young-Adult Peter Pan in WWII Europe Continue…
It’s been almost a year (if not more) since I read the first volume in the Peter Panzerfaust series, which I absolutely adored! And so I had forgotten a few details about what actually happened in the previous installment. But once I got into it, I remembered quickly, and thoroughly enjoyed this second volume entitled “Hook”. This volume includes issues #6-10 of the comic series, and my full review can be found here.
