So I actually read this the day it came out. Physically got in my car, drove to Barnes & Noble, and paid for a hard copy with my own money. I don’t do that often anymore, not when my library so thoughtfully contains most comics and books that I would like to read, even if it means I have to wait in line for them. But I just can’t wait for this series, and I must own it. I LOVE this series. LOVE IT LOVE […]
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 […]
Just as good as everyone said it would be.
This book was slow to start for me. I found it interesting and enjoyed it while I was reading it, but I didn’t exactly need to pick it up or anything, and I kept getting distracted by cheesy romance novels I checked out from the library instead. I should have just been patient. At around 25% (the time she commits her second murder), I was hooked, and at about halfway through when new characters enter the picture, I was so into it I practically read […]
I tried real hard for this not to be my Double Cannonball, but here we are. This is the universe we all have to live in.
The Dragon Reborn is by far the best one of these books yet. Jordan is clearly getting his feet under him writing-wise (although I know this will start changing for the worse around book five or six, depending on who you talk to), and a lot of the things that annoyed me in the first and second books are either gone or much softened here. I’m long past thinking this is a LOTR clone. He does make one puzzling choice that I feel sort of […]
Let’s get bodysnatched!
The introductions to these characters are over, so now it’s time to get real, I guess. With POV books from all the characters excepting Ax* in the bag, these kids are now all in on the fight against the Yeerks, even if they’re not really sure what that means at this point. Sure, they’ve had some harrowing experiences (this whole thing was started with an alien brutally murdering another in front of them, after all), but they’re kids, and so they don’t yet know what […]
Susan is a problem.
My initial review of this book cracks me up (see below). Yeah, sure, Ashley. Final verdict. Not your cup. Woosh woosh woosh (that was the sound of time passing) oh wait, you love this series now, you bobo. Since I finally fell in love with this series around book ten or so (it was just “like” from book four on), I’ve theorized that if I were ever to revisit the first three books I would feel differently about them, and that turned out to be […]
