If Mr. Fantastic and Captain Marvel were combined

Ms. Marvel, Volume One: No Normal by G. Willow Wilson

July 18, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

cbr14bingo Series Level 1 She might be a superhero with pretty cool powers, but she is still 16 and has a curfew. I have read one other Ms. Marvel graphic novel/comic and was not totally impressed.

I had no idea […]

When Marvel Gets a Little Real

Ms. Marvel, vols.1-7 by G. Willow Wilson, Mirka Andolfo, Takeshi Miyazawa, Ian Herring

October 10, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

To be totally honest, Marvel and DC aren’t a major geekdom of mine. But upon recommendations, first by friends IRL and again here at CannonballReads, I started the Ms. Marvel series by G. Willow Wilson et al. The library had the first 8 volumes, then a skip then a volume then skip one or two, so for now until I can get some blanks filled in I’m limited to volumes 1-7; I haven’t finished 8 yet. I’ll get that one in the next batch. I […]

Hacker Adventure with a Kitty

Alif the Unseen by G. Willow Wilson

August 5, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader 1 Comment

Bingo 11 Book Club In preparation for CBR book club in September, I picked up Alif the Unseen; I chose this one since I’d already read one of the other options (The Bear and the Nightingale) and I picked up the other option off the library shelf, flipped through it, and decided ‘Nope, not my style, this writing would drive me nuts’. Having now read Alif the Unseen, I have to say, good job whoever suggested this. In some ways, the story reminded me of […]

December 15, 2019 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

Space Invaders – 4/5 stars This short novel from Chile takes places in late 70s and early 80s in Chile during the Pinochet dictatorship in which tens of thousands of dissenters were placed in concentration camps, killed outright, or both, often having their entire existence bureaucratically eradicated in the process. It was common practice bodies to be burned or dumped in the ocean as well. This novel is a novel of childhood as kids through a main narrator try to make sense of their world. […]
