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 think that was because the character in the other book was a kid and Kamala in Ms. Marvel, Volume One: No Normal is a teenager, and somehow being a superhero is more believable to me if you are at least old enough to drive. I had no idea […]

Introducing: Miguel O’Hara

Spider-Man 2099, issue #1 by Peter David

February 22, 2022 by fauxschizzle 1 Comment

Peter Parker wasn’t my first Spider-Man. He’s one of my favorite characters, don’t get me wrong, but Peter Parker’s origin story was collective knowledge, it wasn’t new. It was picked over turkey with all the baggage of a holiday meal. I knew going in that 2099 would be different, but I didn’t know what that meant at the time. I was twelve, eating lots of Brooklyn pizza, and guzzling Arizona iced tea at a rate surely to put me on the diabetes fast-track (thankfully, it […]

Fauxschizzle vs. 2099: An Introduction

Marvel's 2099 Series by Various

February 2, 2022 by fauxschizzle 3 Comments

I was an easy mark. Overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of stories, art, subject matter that filled my local Brooklyn comic store, and limited by a $5-per-week allowance, I had no idea where to enter the world of comic books. Even at a young age I was a story junkie. I loved Spider-Man, Batman, the Silver Surfer, and had a huge crush on Jubilee from the X-Men. I was interested in so many more… Wolverine, Sandman, Martha Washington Goes to War, Tank Girl, Ghost Rider, […]

Emotions are Difficult, an Alternative Title to this SamBucky Fanfic Series

Questionable Communication Skills series by Abhorsenbranwen

December 18, 2021 by faintingviolet 8 Comments

I have kept up with the fanfic habit I gained in 2020, although I have slowed down a bit, partly because my ability to focus on traditionally published books has increased, and partly because I have not been keeping up with one of the television shows that fed most of my 2020 consumption. But one of the wonderful things about fanfic is there is so bloody much of it that whatever small thought might be scratching at the back of your mind, or story thread […]

4, 4 for 4

Hawkeye, Vol. 1: My Life As A Weapon by Matt Fraction

Death Comes As The End by Agatha Christie

Country Dark by Chris Offutt

Heaven's A Lie by Wallace Stroby

December 8, 2021 by Jake Leave a Comment

Over the weekend and into the early part of this week, I read four books. Each one merited four stars and all were good in their own unique way…   Hawkeye, Vol 1: My Life as a Weapon It’s good. I guess. No really, it’s good. All good. It’s fine. Just…it’s kind of why I don’t read a lot of comics: simplistic hero narratives with twee dialogue. I know this is what everyone wants thanks to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I’m not sure it’s what […]

If you have background these graphic novels rock

Suki, Alone (Avatar: The Last Airbender) by Faith Erin Hicks

Ms. Marvel: Stretched Thing (Original Graphic Novel) by Nadia Shammas

November 24, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Recently I picked up two graphic novels that were fun, but not necessarily making me hoot and holler. Oh, there were a few chuckles, but overall, just enjoyment. I started with Suki, Alone (Avatar: The Last Airbender) by the awesome Faith Erin Hicks and Peter Wartman. If you know the series that features the Kyoshi Warrior, Suki, then you know that she was imprisoned for some time and this graphic novel explores that time as it was not explored in the show. As a story […]
