Wakanda is in disarray. Someone is inciting Wakandans into violence against their king. Their queen, T’challa’s sister, is in a state between living and dead. Justice results in injustice and strong men and bandits are free to abuse women. Wakanda has lost its connection to it’s heritage. While I was reading this graphic novel, I learned that the woman who accused Emmet Till of whistling at her has admitted she lied. The new president, on his first day, replaced the White House website page on […]
Death by Eyeball
Original Sin was a Marvel Comics miniseries. I read the collected 8 issues of the main story. There were also tie in issues, which I did not read. Original Sin hits a weak spot in my recent comic book hobby. I started reading comic books two years ago, mostly because of the MCU movies. Despite that, I’ve mostly stuck to single character series like Ms. Marvel or Matt Fraction’s Hawkeye run. Marvel characters have a long and complicated history that I barely understand. I might […]
Catherine Morland Seeks Her Own Gothic Novel
I’ve been pretty open about the idea that comics are still a reading stumbling block for me. My friend Alison loves comics so whenever she comes across something she thinks might do the trick for me, she makes sure to get it into my hands. I sometimes decline her suggestions due to time limitations, but I always try to see what she’s offering. A couple weeks ago she handed me Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey in comic form, and there was no way I wasn’t going […]
Kamala survived Secret Wars and is now just as awesome as before.
How does this series continue to be SO GOOD. It is the only superhero comic I read that doesn’t allow the larger events of the Marvel (or whatever other comics) universe to completely mess with the narrative it’s trying to tell. Kamala is always Kamala. I never feel discombobulated when I’m reading about her, even if I’ve missed issues where she’s popped in to other superheroes stories, or there’s been some sort of crossover event, like Secret Wars/Battleworld. No idea how that mess all got […]
Relationship Goals
As those of you who know me on Facebook (or even in real life) are aware, 2 1/2 years ago I adopted a 9 year old dog named Spike. Spike is a red Australian Cattle Dog and most definitely the boss of me. He disapproves of most things that I do, but loves me anyway. As I read Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur: BFF, I felt very strongly that I was reading Spike’s relationship goals for us. He would really like to be able to […]
Squirrel Agility Ability
The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl is an absolute delight. She’s a little bit like Deadpool, if Deadpool still had his innocence and had never been a mercenary. She’s jaunty, clever, irreverent and some one is breaking the 4th wall, though it’s more the author than Squirrel Girl. Squirrel Girl super heroes in her own unique way. She takes down the baddest of the bad and makes friends along the way. Doreen Green is totally just your average, normal girl on her way to start college. She […]
