Silk is one of the highly-anticipated (by me, anyways) new titles to come out of the Spider-Verse event. Penned by Supernatural writer Robbie Thompson and drawn by Stacey Lee, this comic introduces Cindy Moon as the new web-slinging superhero of New York. But don’t worry Parker fans, Peter is still around, and occasionally fights crime beside Silk, despite her best efforts to avoid him.
Fun comics and cute animals: instant recipe for success.
I’m not a huge Tumblr user, but I’ve occasionally run into Liz Climo’s comics and thought they were adorable/hilarious. So when I saw her book at the library, I decided it was time to take a break from the long and heavy books I’ve been reading lately and do some laughing. Because this is a series of comics, often unrelated, there’s not necessarily a narrative thread driving the comics together. But there is a running joke about a surprise party gone awry, a dinosaur baby […]
Pusheen is my spirit animal.
If you’ve been on the internet at all, you’ve probably seen Pusheen in one form or another. She has a blog, a set of Facebook stickers, and a bunch of merch at online indie shops. If you’re already a fan, you will get most of your favorite comics in one book. And if you’re a newbie, hopefully you will be inspired to check out her tumblr. My darling BFF and I had a belated Christmas gift exchange. This is what she got me, minus the chocolate. I’ve already eaten that. I have one cat, and […]
Rat Queens; A Glorious Perversion of a Book
Holy gorram gosh-darnit. Oh boy. This was glorious. Heavenly, sexy, badass, emotional glory. Kick-ass and smart and I’m gonna use the word sexy again, like designers use it in that annoying way to objectify an already object existing as an object. Rat Queens is good. Admittedly, I did not think Rat Queens was something I would enjoy – it was only after a trusted recommendation that I gave it a second look. Even then the title “Sass and Sorcery” seemed crude and try-hard. Furthermore a […]
So Many Comics, So Little Time
I keep seeing these Best American editions in my library and as someone who enjoys lists and finding out about unknown sources of literature, I’ve always wanted to pick one up and get to know some new authors. The Best American Comics 2014 edited by Scott McCloud and Bill Kartalopoulos gave me the idea that I should get more familiar with the graphic novel/comic world. I’ve read a few for Cannonball Read 6, but I wanted to expand my horizons. Thankfully, I wasn’t disappointed. Scott […]
Ms. Marvel; the Delight of the Origin Story
You must have heard about Ms. Marvel – it’s the most important comic of 2014; it even says so on the cover! What’s so important about it? The new Ms. Marvel, Kamala, is a muslim. I cannot believe that it’s 2015 and stories with non-white, non-Christian people is still such a big thing. It is a step in the right direction though, that is; it’s another story. So this review will focus on the actual story. Which is an origin story. I love a good […]
