It’s almost like this volume was written just for Cannonball Read. Dr. Jane Foster, The Mighty Thor, has breast cancer which has metastasized to her liver. When she picks up Mjolnir, she is the healthy and strong Mighty Thor. When she sets it down, she is the dying Jane Foster. Becoming Thor eradicates the poisons that kill the cancer, but not the cancer that is killing her. Regardless, she picks up the hammer when she is needed, because Fu*k Cancer. The Dark Elves are warring […]
Intensely Well Done
CN for entire review: Racism, Rape, Slavery Best for: Really anyone. I don’t think you need to be into graphic novels or science fiction to enjoy this work. In a nutshell: Somehow Dana — a young Black woman living with her white husband in 1976 — ends up being transported back to the mid-1800s when a young son of a slave master fears death. Without warning, she is then transported back to 1776. This cycle continues, and times including her husband. Line that sticks with […]
Come Home
Jessica Jones is back as the hard drinking, self-loathing private investigator. She is much more together than she was at the beginning of Volume 1, but get a couple of drinks in her and she will fuck inappropriate people. Jessica heads to a small town to investigate the disappearance of a teenage girl who is either a mutant, lied about being a mutant, or had rumors spread about her that she is a mutant. In this small town, mutants are the hated group du jour. […]
Along Comes a Spider
I know the Marvel movie and comics universes are separate, but I would pay money to see a movie version of the Molot Boga and Damon Dran story. Sure, after 2 volumes I don’t know where the Chaos story is going, but there’s an interesting movie in there. There’s enough that we don’t know about Natasha’s life, that a non-Avengers Black Widow movie would be viable. I’d love to see more of the Natasha/Tori Raven relationship. The Finely Woven Thread made me feel like Marvel does […]
Can’t a Girl Just Make a Living?
Kate Leth continues the adventures of Patsy Walker, aka Hellcat. Patsy just wants to get her life together and avoid the big fights. She’s Avenged and she’s Defended and now she wants to keep her head down and live a life. That’s hard to do when her childhood frenemy is making problems for her and Civil War II is going on. I love Kate Leth’s Patsy Walker. She’s warm and bright, but not chirpy and naive. Patsy’s sweetness is tempered by by the sadness and […]
1, 2, 3, 4, I Declare an Actual War
Happy Canada Day! And Happy 150th Birthday Canada! I celebrated with a team up of two Canadian superheroes and one American – Deadpool, Wolverine, and Captain America. Rest easy Canada, Wolverine and Captain America didn’t go along willingly. I am so happy to dive back into my favorite Deadpool (sorry RyRy!). Duggan and Posehn’s take on the Merc with the Mouth stole my heart in Vol. 1, Dead Presidents. Their Deadpool is funny, irreverent, and crazy as a bedbug. He wants to do the right […]
