When Marvel Gets a Little Real

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

by 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 […]

Cannonball! – I crushed my goal with Ms. Marvel

Ms. Marvel: Crushed by G. Willow Wilson (writer), Elmo Bondoc (artist), Takeshi Miyazawa (artist)

by 4 Comments

Earlier this year I accidentally read the fourth Ms. Marvel graphic novel before the third, Ms.Marvel: Crushed.  Instead of immediately going back and reading number three I went on to read other things.  When I was ready to pick it up, I couldn’t find it, the house seemed to have eaten it.  About two weeks ago it resurfaced and I decided to save it to complete my cannonball.  Sosuke is not as thrilled as I am, since his nap was disturbed to take this photo.

Transformers meet Voltron

Mech Cadet Yu by Greg Pak, Takeshi Miyazawa and Triona Farrell

Transformers meet Voltron in Mech Cadet Yu Volume one by Greg Pak, Takeshi Miyazawa and Triona Farrell. I would like to point out when I say Transformer and Voltron I do not mean the modern-day versions but the awesome 1980s versions I grew up on. The story itself is totally today, but still the creators are paying honor to the classics. The story is every few years giant robots from outer space come to bond with cadets from the Sky Corps Academy.  Sixty-years ago, the […]

Riders of the Brohirrim, Ms. Marvel is Our Hero.

Ms. Marvel, Vol. 7: Damage Per Second, Ms. Marvel, Vol. 8: Mecca by G. Willow Wilson, Takeshi Miyazawa, Adrian Alphona

I have professed my deep and abiding love for Kamala Khan as Ms. Marvel before. Volumes 7 and 8 are why we read comic books. These volumes are what we’ve been growing towards. These are the issues in which Kamala faces the evils in our society, the ones that can’t be entirely super heroed away. This is the dark third act when it looks like everything is lost. After the events during Civil War, Ms. Marvel is on her own and no longer universally loved […]

Change is What You Make of It.

Ms. Marvel Vol. 5: Super Famous; Ms. Marvel Vol. 6: Civil War 2 by G. Willow Wilson, Takeshi Mayazawa, Adrien Alphona

I adore Kamala Khan, Ms. Marvel. I am so glad that G. Willow Wilson is writing her. I’m so happy this all exists. Kamala has come a long way from her exposure to the Terrigen mist and that first fan girly team up with Wolverine. Some members of her family know, she’s a member of the Avengers, and Jersey City has come to view her as their own superhero. But success and notoriety come with a price. Reputations can be changed with just a whisper, […]

Uh oh.

Ms. Marvel, Volume 5: Super Famous by G. Willow Wilson, Takeshi Miyazawa, Adrian Alphona, and Nico Leon

I think I might have been missing something. Last Days ended on a serious cliffhanger, and somewhere before Super Famous, there must have been a Marvel cross-over somewhere. I was pretty confused about the sudden shift in tone and plot, and I think I spent most of the volume being pretty disoriented. I don’t know if I’ll continue reading the series, if it’s heading in this direction, instead of living within its own universe. Super Famous takes place several months after the events of Last […]
