Superman/Wonder Woman Vol. 1: Power Couple collects the first several issues of DC’s ongoing Superman/Wonder Woman series. This is another Charles Soule book; the man seems to be writing every major book that Mark Waid is not writing. I would ask how he does it, but he is a lawyer and hard-charging, self-doubting Type As love to take on more than they should so that makes sense. In a way, that’s one of the themes of this book. In this book, Superman and Wonder Woman […]
Odyssia vs. the Cyclops
After a century of war, Odyssia and her warriors have left Troiia in ruins. Despite their victory they have many challenges yet to face, not the least of which is the ire of Zeus and Poseidon. Having dealt with treachery on her own ship and resisted the temptation offered by the Lotus-Eaters, Odyssia is once again on the path home. Ody-C #3 begins with a flashback to the birth of the goddess Apollo. Or is it Dionysus? Continue reading on Women Write About Comics.
Something’s Rotten in the State of Riverdale
After reading the great review by Halbs and finding myself in a quandary over what to read next (anyone else feel overwhelmed when you have so many books you WANT to read?!?), I decided to test out the waters with Afterlife with Archie: Escape from Riverdale (which I at first wrote as Greendale, because I guess I have Community on the mind). After just finishing five 500 page plus books that dealt with zombies (although they’re never called zombies), I have been missing my fiendish […]
“A feel-good beach read!” – Werner Herzog
While I collect comics as a hobby, I don’t necessarily have every lauded book on my monthly pull list at my friendly neighborhood comic shop. I tend to go for less hero-y, off-the-beaten-path books like Alex + Ada, Letter 44, She-Hulk, or Gotham by Midnight. My all-time favorite series (right now) is Booster Gold, which is pretty fun and light-hearted. But, since everyone has been talking up Archie books lately, particularly Afterlife with Archie, I decided to pick up the first volume, Escape from Riverdale. […]
Go West
When most people think of comic books, they probably think of DC and Marvel. The Big Two have given us Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Avengers, X-Men, etc. For my money, though, Image is publishing the best regular series of books. I find myself recommending their their titles more than anyone else’s. Alex + Ada, Lazarus, Morning Glories, and Velvet are a few of my favorites. Image also compiles the first few issue of series in trade paperbacks format for $10, just to give you a […]
Overstuffed and implausible, but still a fun read.
See, this is what happens when you read comics. Reading one inevitably leads to you reading another, and then another, and then oh you have to read this other one to understand that one, and oh then that one because it introduces these characters, and then oh that one because it was the start of the run, and blah blah blah, somehow you end up ordering seven new trade paperbacks in one afternoon, and then your library won’t let you order anymore. This is how […]
