A too-soon farewell to a fun comic series.

November 4, 2017 by bonnie Leave a Comment

My love for Catsy Walker, as she’s known in my house, is well-documented. I was surprised and a little disappointed to hear that Volume 3 (“Careless Whiskers,” and now I’m singing George Michael, thanks, you guys) was the final entry in this comic. Are you kidding me? Where am I going to get my fun and darling comics kick now??? Sigh. I was hoping that this would be a solid send-off for Patsy and her band, and this volume did not disappoint overall. Patsy has […]

Going to give this series one more chance, and then I’m out.

November 2, 2017 by narfna 6 Comments

 I feel like this series is just getting more confusing the longer it goes, and I am less and less interested. It also continues to be overly bleak with no humor at all to lighten it up. The art continues to be gorgeous. I don’t know, maybe it’s just me. It’s been a couple of months (I think) between actually reading it and writing this review, but I seem to recall a pirate ship adventure, and nobody trusting Maika at all, and the monster inside […]

Read it… you know… soonish.

October 30, 2017 by octothorp Leave a Comment

Zach Weinersmith is the writer behind the delightful Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal webcomic, and with his wife wrote and researched this book on emerging technologies.  If you’re a fan of the comic, you’ll enjoy this book, if you’re unfamiliar with it … fix it: http://www.smbc-comics.com.  It’s pretty much the only comic I go out of my way to read daily. The authors do a spectacular job making the cutting edge of science – by their very nature as developing fields difficult to explain and understand – […]

I’m a leaf on the wind!

October 30, 2017 by tillie Leave a Comment

We’re back on Serenity!! Leaves on the wind takes place after the movie Serenity.  Our gang is in trouble after the big reveal, they are hunted by the confederation, obviously, but the resistance group has also taken an interest in Mal. They want to make him their front figure in order to inspire the masses into an uprising, sort of like the Mockingbird in the Hunger Games I think. I honestly couldn’t say much about the plot. This is definitely a character book. Fans of […]

March On

October 25, 2017 by faintingviolet Leave a Comment

I have loved Representative Lewis since studying about the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and their role in the sit-ins, freedom rides, and the 1963 March on Washington. While the March on Washington is most often remembered today as the location of Martin Luther King Jr’s I Have a Dream speech, earlier that day in his role as National Chairman of SNCC John Lewis spoke, giving an inflammatory speech that nearly had other speakers pulling out of the March. When I heard last year that […]

KORRA IS BACK AND I AM ALL CAPS EXCITED ABOUT IT.

October 23, 2017 by narfna 4 Comments

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I miss Legend of Korra so freaking much. Every couple of years, I get this insatiable urge to rewatch Avatar: The Last Airbender, and ever since Korra ended in 2014, I’ve folded them in together as one big rewatch. I find them both so lovely and comforting and fun and beautiful. I’ve also been reading Gene Luen Yang’s official comics continuations of Aang and the gang, and really enjoying them, so you bet your ass when […]
