No. Just. No. You need more? Fine. Here’s more. I was reading the introduction to this because Margaret Atwood wrote the introduction and it was lovely. Here was this old lady who decided to write a comic book about a man who’s both bird and cat even though she’s so old that she no longer has a cat, because she is afraid she would trip over it. Then she starts talking about Catbird. She dives into the themes of a man being both a cat […]
My least favorite Saga installments are the ones where things get tough.
I heard almost immediately from friends and friends of friends that this was really sad, so I waited months to read it, when normally I’m all over new Saga like cat hair on black pants. It’s like, I get there are going to be sad installments of this series. I do. This is the story of Hazel’s life from beginning, to, well, I don’t know if they’ll end with her being old, but certainly with her as an adult. And there is no way that […]
I’m a leaf on the wind!
We’re back on Serenity!! Leaves on the wind takes place after the movie Serenity. Our gang is in trouble after the big reveal, they are hunted by the confederation, obviously, but the resistance group has also taken an interest in Mal. They want to make him their front figure in order to inspire the masses into an uprising, sort of like the Mockingbird in the Hunger Games I think. I honestly couldn’t say much about the plot. This is definitely a character book. Fans of […]
KORRA IS BACK AND I AM ALL CAPS EXCITED ABOUT IT.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I miss Legend of Korra so freaking much. Every couple of years, I get this insatiable urge to rewatch Avatar: The Last Airbender, and ever since Korra ended in 2014, I’ve folded them in together as one big rewatch. I find them both so lovely and comforting and fun and beautiful. I’ve also been reading Gene Luen Yang’s official comics continuations of Aang and the gang, and really enjoying them, so you bet your ass when […]
Kamala says be kind.
Volume seven and still going strong. I almost feel like I should knock on wood, because surely G. Willow Wilson can’t keep this up? Writing an emotionally affecting, funny, superhero comic that manages to transcend the limitations of its genre (mostly neverending mashups with other series, forced crossover storylines, etc.) The only “flaw” I can consistently identify in this series is that it sometimes betrays its other genre (young adult) by leaning a little too far into some of those tropes, getting a teensy bit […]
Get yourself a 24-hour lawyer.
Okay, first, I love this series. I love the characters. I love the university setting. I love how weird it is. But as a whole, this wasn’t a super great trade paperback. It covers several events that don’t really form a cohesive story arc, even if the individual components were highly amusing. This volume is basically split into three: the end of their first year at university, an incident over their summer break where the girls attend a music festival, and the beginning of their […]
