From the back blurb: Lunella Lafayette is an Inhuman preteen genius who wants to change the world! That job would be a lot easier if she wasn’t living in mortal fear of her latent inhuman gene. There’s no telling what she’ll turn into – but Luna’s got a plan. All she needs is an Omni-Wave Projector. Easy, right? That is, until a red-scaled beast is teleported from the prehistoric past to a far flung future we call…today! Together they are the most Marvellous Team-Up of […]
Please sir, I want some more
From the back blurb: Susan, Esther and Daisy started at university three weeks ago and became fast friends. Now, away from home for the first time, all three want to reinvent themselves. But in the face of hand-wringing boys, “personal experimentation”, influenza, mystery-mold, nu-chauvinism, and the willful, unwanted intrusion of “academia”, they may be lucky just to make it to spring alive. Going off to university is always a time of change and growth, but for Esther, Susan, and Daisy, things are about to get […]
Necessary Trouble
I try to give myself a healthy reading diet, and part of that diet is books from the point of view of people who do not experience the world the same way my privilege as a cis white woman allows. When I picked up March: Book One it felt in many ways a basic history, an introduction to world that I was already relatively familiar with, even though it was not my own. If Book One is a primer then Book Two is a call […]
Pretty Solid Series with an Good Conclusion: Didn’t Blow Me Away but Still Not Bad to Read
The final 2/3 of the Sweet Tooth series by Jeff Lemire, which started off gloomy but promising: a dark, post-apocalyptic story about a disease that wiped out most of the population, leaving few humans behind, along with all new babies born with animal features. The remainder of the series aims to answer some of the questions posed by the beginning of the series, all while continuing with the grim mood, with glimpses of hope splashed within. The 2nd book collecting story arcs “Animal Armies” and […]
The end
The end of batman is always a fascinating concept, because Batman can’t die. Not really. He’s not a mortal man, he’s an idea a legend which is what makes him able to still be alive after so many years, changing and evolving to be a vigilante in whichever time period that doesn’t need him, but totally deserves him. The story takes place at the wake of Batman. We enter a small Gotham City bar in an alley where a lone bartender guards the entry to […]
My least favorite Saga installments are the ones where things get tough.
I heard almost immediately from friends and friends of friends that this was really sad, so I waited months to read it, when normally I’m all over new Saga like cat hair on black pants. It’s like, I get there are going to be sad installments of this series. I do. This is the story of Hazel’s life from beginning, to, well, I don’t know if they’ll end with her being old, but certainly with her as an adult. And there is no way that […]
