I love the rat queens. The first book was amazing, fresh and funny. The second book was fast paced and hilarious. Before I read the third volume I went back and re-read the second one. That when I realized it was like a whole new book. I couldn’t remember anything about it at all. Apparently this series quality is deteriorating. And fast. It’s been a week since I read the third one. And I can’t really tell you what it’s about. There is a bunch […]
The SAGA continues (had to use the pun once).
Where we last left off, our intrepid star-crossed lovers had just been joined by Marko’s parents…awkward. Things get off to a rocky start as mom leaves with Marko to try to recover their ghost nanny (this story is just so fun to write about!) and dad is left with Alana, who is suspicious of him, to say the least. But luckily, their tree spaceship has got her back, and he ends up a little…tied up (pun totally intended). Meanwhile, the unlucky in love mercenary, unlucky […]
Full dark, no stars.
I, like pretty much everyone else in the world, love this series. It is one of the few books I have ever pre-ordered, but my mind is like a sieve, so I was very surprised when it suddenly arrived in my mailbox. Vaughn and Staples’ Volume 7 is dark. This is a dark series – there is always something going wrong for Alana and Marko, but this one felt particularly hopeless. It starts off on a high note – the family is reunited and expanded, […]
Star-crossed lovers + war + assassins = A graphic “graphic novel”
I am no stranger to the amazingness of Brian K. Vaughan. I loved both “Y: The Last Man” and “Runaways” so when a friend offered to loan me “Saga” I was on board. I enjoy graphic novels but don’t frequent shops or seek them out regularly, so I know I’m a bit late to the game (the new volume was just released) but better late than never! And of course, I love this series just as much as the previous two. This is definitely a […]
Once More With Feeling
Old wounds, old enemies, and old questions all play a big part in season 10 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer from Dark Horse Comics. For the first time since the series was restarted in comics format this season feels the most like the original television series in both scope and the characters and how the interact with each other. If you are not caught up on the series I will try to quickly summarize the pertinent bits. If you are not familiar with the series […]
The Good, the Bad, and the Lumberjane
The good: returning to a main storyline about trying to figure out the supernatural goings-on at summer camp. I was feeling let down by the last volume, because of its use of a series of short stories that had little direct connection to the main storyline. Now we’re back to the unusual happenings and trying to figure out what they all mean. It also worked to re-arrange the team for a little while, with Molly and Ripley working on one part of the problem in […]
