Happy Canada Day! And Happy 150th Birthday Canada! I celebrated with a team up of two Canadian superheroes and one American – Deadpool, Wolverine, and Captain America. Rest easy Canada, Wolverine and Captain America didn’t go along willingly. I am so happy to dive back into my favorite Deadpool (sorry RyRy!). Duggan and Posehn’s take on the Merc with the Mouth stole my heart in Vol. 1, Dead Presidents. Their Deadpool is funny, irreverent, and crazy as a bedbug. He wants to do the right […]
Wade wants to roast marshmallows while all creation burns.
Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe is interesting, but not as much fun as I like my Deadpool. Spoilers abound in this review. The first issue opens on Sue Storm grieving with Reed Richards as he dies a rather gruesome death in the shattered remains of The Thing. Soon we find out that Deadpool has killed them, and he promptly kills the Storm siblings. But why? Flashback to Charles Xavier and some X-Men forcibly checking Deadpool into a mental hospital. It’s pretty clear that something sketchy […]
Patsy and Jessica, Starting Over
In the Netflix Jessica Jones series, Patsy Walker and Jessica are best friends and foster sisters. In Patsy Walker, A.K.A Hellcat! and Jessica Jones: Alias, they don’t even know each other, yet. Despite the years, writers, artists and tones separating them, they have a lot in common. Beyond the superficial of both being super powered, they are two women with traumatic pasts trying to start over and move on. As you can tell from the cover, Patsy Walker, aka Hellcat is not gritty. It’s fun, but […]
Squirrels as Superheroes Makes for Nut Puns Galore
3.5 stars. There’s a lot to like here: girl power, a not super sexy heroine, and a superhero trying to be normal as a college student. Doreen really wants to do the college thing, including boys, clubs, etc. But she’s not doing it to be normal; she just want to know computer science stuff (that would be her major, although I’m not sure why she chose it). More of this part of her story would be helpful, since a good portion of the book is […]
Teenage Wasteland
So what would you do if you found out your parents were super villains? Alex, Nico, Karolina, Gertrude, Chase and Molly choose to run away and plot to take down their parents any way they can. I started out with 4 stars, but it’s really closer to 3. I enjoyed Runaways, but it is no Saga. On the night that the 6 teens find out their parents are super villains, they also find out that some of them have powers, one is an alien, one […]
Great for Kamala, not so great for Carol.
I will admit I was prepared to dislike this. I read a couple of reviews that gave the plot away, and it made me angry and nervous (more on this below). I shouldn’t have *really* worried. As she did with that whole Secret Wars mess, G. Willow Wilson manages to write an event tie-in story (in this case, Civil War II) but still keep it readable for people like myself who aren’t planning on reading the rest of it, and to simultaneously keep the story […]
