Saga, Vol. 9 (Saga, #9) by Brian K. Vaughan & Fiona Staples

by 6 Comments

Betrayal. Just, betrayal. That is the main feeling I have at this point. Well, the main feeling in like 75% of my brain. The other 25% understands logically why what happened in this book happened, but that 75%, it is PISSED. Just, how dare you. Maybe it is a good thing that Vaughan and Staples are taking a year-ish hiatus on this series, because my main impulse right now is to go over to their houses, knock all the books off their bookshelves in a righteous fury, and maybe like, kick some furniture aggressively while yelling nonsense. I’m not even […]

In which I am a party pooper.

Legend of Korra: Turf Wars, Part Three by Michael Dante DiMartino

by Leave a Comment

I just really miss Legend of Korra. That is my main takeaway from reading this three-part comic series over the last year. I just did a rewatch of Avatar the Last Airbender and Korra at the beginning of the year, but I might have to do another one. It’s just so good. I think I might have also read this wrong. I read each issue as they came out, and looooved the first one. But the second two, less so. It had been months since I read the preceding issues, and I felt a little disconnected. It also felt like they were missing my favorite parts […]

Gearing up for the grand sex criminals finale. #CBRBingo

Sex Criminals, Vol. 5: Five-Fingered Discount by Matt Fraction & Chip Zdarsky

by Leave a Comment

I liked this a lot better than the last one, which made me feel like the series was starting to become aimless and no fun. It’s still not as purely fun here as it was in the first two volumes, but a lot of things were course corrected, and the last couple of pages were great. Suzie and Jon are both not doing so well post-breakup. Suzie is with the world’s most ‘meh’ man, and Jon is in an open relationship with a lovely woman who he feels nothing for, and he works in a sex shop called ‘Cumworld’. Meanwhile, […]

Okay I loved this but don’t read it until there’s more!!!

Fence, Vol. 1 by C.S. Pacat, Johanna the Mad

by 6 Comments

What was that and give me the rest right now. I’ve been looking forward to reading this because even from the summary I could tell I was going to enjoy it, and also I loved C.S. Pacat’s Captive Prince trilogy. But I don’t think I was quite prepared for just how much fun I would have with this comic/manga hybrid (it was written with many of the techniques and tropes common in manga, even though pretty much everything else about it is western). Like, that five stars is mine alone. You may very well, and probably will, read the first […]

Vol. 9 and still going strong.

Ms. Marvel, Vol. 9: Teenage Wasteland by G. Willow Wilson

by 3 Comments

Should I just copy and paste things from my previous reviews of this series so as to just really hammer the point home? “Okay, so Ms. Marvel is probably my SECOND favorite comic, definitely my favorite superhero comic. I love Carol Danvers probably as much as I love Kamala Khan, but the last couple of Captain Marvel trades have fallen a little flat for me, and meanwhile G. Willow Wilson continues to absolutely KILL IT with Kamala.” -Me, three years ago “How does this series continue to be SO GOOD. It is the only superhero comic I read that doesn’t […]

“Comics to make you cry laughing and cry crying”

The Book of Onions by Jake Thompson

by Leave a Comment

When I was a kid, my dad had a couple of volumes of collections of The Far Side Gallery comics, and I… well, to be honest, when I first read them I was much too young to understand more than one in thirty of them, but eventually, I loved them.  I was so envious of Gary Larson, and his ability to both draw and be funny at the same time, that I spent a significant amount of time in middle school pretending that I also had both those talents.  (I very much did not.) Fortunately for us, there are still some people […]

These were not quite the buff dudes I had pictured, but they definitely get the job done

Emotions Explained with Buff Dudes by Andrew Tsyaston

by Leave a Comment

Cannonball Bingo Spot – Cover Art.  I mean, could you pass this up?   Do you know about Owl Turd Comix? Because you should. It’s … uber relatable?     And hilarious?   And topical?   A little bit too on the nose on occasion? And other times, just 100% the plain honest truth. So this is a collection of some of the best Owl Turd strips, and I highly recommend you check it out, if you could use a laugh as much as I could, right about now.   *This is available for pre-order on Amazon.  My copy was given to […]

I’m not sure I understood it, but I liked it?

Doom Patrol Vol. 1: Brick By Brick by Gerard Way, Nick Derington, and Tamra Bonvillain

by Leave a Comment

“The world is hard and unforgiving, it can change you. Because we’re made up of all the things that happen to us. The good things fill your heart. But the bad things, and what we choose to do with them, really make us who we are…” Okay, so this was a weird one and I’m not sure I grasped everything that went down. I’m not at all familiar with Doom Patrol, so I don’t have any prior knowledge coming into this. I liked My Chemical Romance, so the Gerard Way factor was a positive, and it did look intriguingly weird. […]
