Everyone has felt like Moon Girl at one time or other – #CBR11Bingo: “And so it begins”

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur: The Beginning by Brandon Montclare (writer), Amy Reeder (writer), Natacha Bustos (artist), Marco Failla (artist)

by 1 Comment

For a couple years now, people have been telling me to read Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur.  I even bought it for my daughters, they read it and loved it, but it sat on the shelf unread by me.  Then an adorable video of a parent and child cosplaying, with a preschool aged Moon Girl and a parent in a blow up dinosaur costume, was posted on the Cannonball Read Book Chat Facebook page by emmalita.  It was adorable and gave me the push to […]

My Brain is the only super-power I need

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur (Volume 1 BFF) by Amy Reeder

by Leave a Comment

If you are not a big Marvel graphic novel-stories fan, a few pieces of information are missing from the story of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur (Volume 1 BFF). Yet, at the same time, it is not needed. It is a standalone story where most information is self-explanatory. If not, Google is our friend (also my geek friends are well…. my friends who can fill in blanks). Plus, there is a note on one page that directs you to another story if you wish to […]

Ms. Marvel at war

Ms. Marvel Vol. 6: Civil War II by G Willow Wilson

Bingo Square : Illustrated   I haven’t been in to comic books since for about 30 years, back when I would beg my mom to buy me Archie at the checkout of the grocery store and finish it before we got home. Ms. Marvel really has changed that. Kamala Khan is an American teenager living in Jersey City, New Jersey and dealing with regular teenage stuff- school, her parents’ expectations, and the occasional boy trouble. The big difference is that Kamala’s boy trouble is usually […]

The end for G. Willow Wilson, but not for Ms. Marvel.

Ms. Marvel, Vol. 10: Time and Again by G. Willow Wilson

by 4 Comments

And so marks the end of G. Willow Wilson’s tenure on Ms. Marvel, something she thought wouldn’t last beyond a handful of issues, but has now gone on for seven years, and Kamala herself is flourishing at large in the Marvel Comics universe—or so I’ve heard, because I just can’t with superhero comics for the most part. They are too interconnected and I can’t read them all, it’s impossible, so I will read almost none of them instead. I have been making an exception for […]

Not so little runaways

Runaways Vol. 1: Find Your Way Home by Rainbow Rowell and Kris Anka

Runaways Vol. 2: Best Friends Forever by Rainbow Rowell and Kris Anka

4.5 stars This post contains spoilers from the original Runaways graphic novels. When I found out that one of my favorite authors and favorite people to follow on Twitter, Rainbow Rowell was writing a continuation of the Runaways, a group of Marvel teens that find out their parents and super evil and murdering kids, I was very excited. I had only read the first 3 collected volumes, but Gert and Chase are one of my favorite couples of all time. I knew that Rainbow Rowell […]
