The only gift we can give humans is not absolute victory, but instead a world with less fear

The Night Eaters, vols. 2-3 by Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda

October 6, 2025 by vega-table Leave a Comment

Bingo Row 3 – N Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda are probably best known as the writer and artist for Monstress – an ongoing gorgeous and overwhelming fantasy comic series. Their collaboration on the Night Eaters is different enough to not be another Monstress, but similar enough that it’s clearly the same creative team: The art is dreamy and fantasy-conducive, even when it’s set in modern day North America and not a high fantasy world; the characters are mean and unlikeable, which makes them oddly […]

Goodnight Punpun, vol. 1 by Inio Asano

October 1, 2025 by vega-table Leave a Comment

Bingo Row 3 – G You know that thing where you go to a book swap to get rid of books, but they don’t let you unless you actually swap and take books with you? Maybe it’s just me. Well that’s how I ended up with a volume of Inio Asano’s acclaimed Goodnight Punpun. Punpun looks like a cross between a bird and someone in a sheet dressed like a ghost. His family is also part of this bird ghost species; everyone else is a […]

Headshot by Rita Bullwinkel

September 30, 2025 by vega-table Leave a Comment

Bingo Row 1 – rec’d My mother-in- law recommends two types of books. There are books that I already read and enjoyed and books that I don’t care for. So when she recommended Headshot by Rita Bullwinkel, I didn’t think I’d like it, but I mostly did. It’s a slice of life in a literal sense because it covers a very specific moment of eight girls’ lives – namely their competition in the Daughters of America Cup, a teenage girl boxing championship in Reno, Nevada. […]

He’s too violent for figure skating, but does he dance too much for hockey? No.

Dogsred, vols. 1-3 by Satoru Noda

September 30, 2025 by vega-table Leave a Comment

Bingo Row 4 – Border Dogsred by Satoru Noda is kind of the only other work from the man who did Golden Kamuy, my absolute favorite manga and anime and possibly my favorite series, book, story, and thing that another human created. I say kinda because Dogsred is a re-do of Noda’s first published series – Supinamarada! But Golden Kamuy is the sort of thing I gravitate towards with a mix of history, adventure, human rights, and wackiness. Dogsred – a series about high school […]

Bingo Row 2 – diaspora Earlier this year, I made an effort to get back into the X-Men. Then current events happened and I decided to abort the catch up. But not before I got a sampling of the first volumes from some solo titles. (I wrote most of this before Disney put Kimmel back.) One of my favorite things about the X-Men is that the characters came from everywhere. Retrospectively, it was the closest thing I saw to my own family being represented in […]

The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier

The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon

September 23, 2025 by vega-table 2 Comments

Bingo Row 2 – TBR I’ve attempted to read the Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay a few times over the years. Something always happens, including two instances where my cat opened my bedside table and ripped the book to shreds. Eventually I gave up. It seemed I was not meant to read it. But when I recently saw it at a bookstore, I decided to try again because I believe in coincidences and don’t believe that fate has destroyed multiple copies of this book. […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.
Dixie on Track Her Down by Melinda LeighI am just starting Track Her Down and I have read them all in order till now and thought I...
Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
